Kathryn's 7th Birthday

Kathryn ( turning 7 ) and Hannah ( turning 8) wanted a Build a Bear Hawaiian Slumber Party. These were their guests. Sam, Grace, and Daylin. Haddy was supposed to be here but was sick and K's other friend Grace celebrated a few days later with her. The first thing they did was to make leis out of flowers.
each one was as unique as it's owner.

Can't have a luau without a grass skirt.
After everyone was dressed for the party we had Glamour Shots. All the girls took turns in front of the murals posing. We had a great time. sometimes they did individual shots and sometimes group shots.

Here are Hear no evil, See no evil, and Speak no evil.

Danda made this totally cute cake.

Here is where the party took on a life of it's own. the early part of the evening I had planned out from here on I let the girls take it where they wanted it to go. They decided to dance...

... and play with Little Pet shop characters.

finally around midnight the last one fell asleep.

The next day we had a private party with Danda, Robert, Daddy, and Sam. The first three had been at the resturant the night before so missed all the festivities. Kathryn just enjoyed having two parties.

In the spirit of the Hawaiian theme we decided to open a coconut. I must admit it was not a great success. the milk and meat inside were spoiled and smelled awful. I do not think K will ever look at a coconut in the same way. K and H gave each other gift cards to Build a Bear so I took them to make a new friend.
