My ever-so genius mother-in-law put together a super fun, all girl party/sleepover (I say genius, but some would say insane) for all of her granddaughters. Us mom's tagged along to help with the games, to play lifeguard on duty during swim time and of course to help get all 9 girls tucked in and kissed goodnight.
What a great tradition this will be for my girls (well, all of the girls) to have with their grandma. I'm so very grateful to have such a tremendous mother-in-law who among her own trials, struggles and afflictions can't help but think of others. She is such an example to me and I love her dearly.
Here are just a few photos of some of the fun...
This is Samantha with her 91 year old Great-grandma (Scott's grandma)...
Best-est girl cousins ever!!! Brooke and Brinlee...
Sam and her best-est girl cuz ever, Jacee...
I'm not exactly sure why Sam has such a sour face, but none the less she was having lots of fun especially when the older teenage girls painted the younger girls' nails - a definite highlight for both Sam and Brooke.
And it wouldn't be a true girl party if at least one boy didn't crash the party... here's Brody sipping down not 1, not 2, but 3 root beer floats! Man that kid is fast!
And PS, do not worry about the Brod-ster... The all-boys party was held 2 days later which I volunteered Scott to attend so therefore I have zero photos of that event (but I hear the little man had an absolute blast!).
