Circle of Friends




Chloe has a really neat group of friends. She invited a few over last Saturday to celebrate her big day. We moved the coffee table out of the way, covered the area rug with beach towels and had a Spa party. Which means, I spent an hour painting little toe nails. I LOVED it.






This group of girls love to talk..imagine that. I knew that there would be a period of time that they would be waiting, so before the party I typed up a ton of questions, cut them out, folded them and placed them in a bowl.

In between the base coat and the top coat (which was polka dots) each one of them would draw a question, read it, and answer. It was neat to hear their responses. Some of the questions were just fun..."Today, what is your favorite song?"...or "What is your favorite book?"...BUT, something happened. As they gave their answers, each one of them would ask another girl and it would turn into a big group discussion. I was so proud of them. They included everyone and honored God in their conversation.







Here they are: M, N, G, Chloe, Emma, M. Thanks girls for a great party! You all are a ton of fun!

Boy how I miss those days. This party looked like it was so much fun. What a neat way to celebrate.

How fun! I can't wait to this stuff with Jenna and her friends. With 2 boys first, somehow, a game of baseball outside is not near as much fun!

This looks like a very fun day! Happy Birthday, Chloe. You look so grown up with your new earrings.

Love,
