Simple. The getting together is what they will remember, not all the perfect frills. <br /><br />Oh, I loved watching them giggle and laugh and sing that song, so cute...and dressing, they all hid from eachother and got dressed under her desk one at a time in her room, some in the bathroom...so cute. Love this age group. I know 5 years will pass really quickly and they will all be 16 just like that. <br /><br />She loves the room. Funny what a little color (especially if it's your favorite) can do!!<br />Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-26444849039482393322013-07-19T09:05:13.384-05:002013-07-19T09:05:13.384-05:00I agree!!I agree!!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-11074409998632996192013-07-19T09:05:02.323-05:002013-07-19T09:05:02.323-05:00She does seem like she's 12, doesn't she? ...She does seem like she's 12, doesn't she?

So fun, to think of them all even 5 years from now when they are around age 16. Oh, I want to keep them right where they are right now. <br /><br />This party made me want to just have large get togethers without the birthday, it was really fun! Wish we had a pool!<br /><br />Watermelon, make sure if you do it, you cut a slice where you will stick the stick, it goes in easier. <br /><br />Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-37404654703901485372013-07-19T09:00:44.486-05:002013-07-19T09:00:44.486-05:00Oh, gosh, long story.

She's in the fireplace room because the actual bedroom down there lost it's carpet...this room is useless, we don't use it, it's huge, so we put up shower curtains over the doorways and viola!! Big bedroom!! She has had a roommate once, but that child moved back up....getting along issues, certain kids get along better than others, and there is also a spider issue in the basement. And it's cold, the 2nd daughter is cold when it's 90 out, so a basement bedroom would NOT work for her. That's how she scored...We have a daughter that wants to move down though, carpet or not, as soon as she learns to pick up her room now. (the rest share, but she is the messiest!)
