Goodnight Sleep Tight...

Two posts in one day...wow I really am on a roll! LOL

Christian's birthday was a week ago and we finally celebrated it this weekend with a great "Bedtime Stories" birthday party. Thanks to the great idea from my Sister in Law Marci it was quite the success!

We sent out the cutest invitations with a picture of Christian "sleeping" on the front (he is quite the little actor) and promised everyone the night would not be a snoozer!

Everyone showed up for a night of fun in their Jammie's with their pillows. We ate breakfast for dinner and had quite the spread. We ate waffles with all the fix ins, hash browns, eggs, fruit and yummy brown sugar bacon (all for the 10 year olds of course).

After we stuffed our little and my not so little tummy these days, we headed to the garage. The garage you ask..didn't you know that is the new hip place to have a party!?! O.K. the weather totally turned on us...but we didn't let that get us down! We Heugly's sure know how to party!! In the garage the kids were each given a pillowcase to decorate with fabric markers and stencils. I was shocked at the creativity of some of the kids and had no idea it would be as big of a hit as it was.

After they were done being little artists we settled down to watch the movie Bedtime Stories on the wall of the garage. Jake's parents let us borrow their movie projector and the wall in the garage was the perfect screen. We of course had to throw a little popcorn into the evening...what movie is complete without a little popcorn. The kids all bunched together and laughed their little heads off.

Just before the night was over we decided to load them up on a little more sugar! I'm sure their parents loved us. I found a lady who made the cutest cake of Christian sitting on his bed reading a book to his teddy bear...flashlight and all! Too cute however most of the kids didn't realize that the fondant really was just for looks! The cake underneath however was delish!

And if cake and ice cream wasn't enough to top of their sugar highs, we then sent all of the kids out the door with the cutest little pillowcase gift bags (courtesy of Grandma Ellis) filled with more goodies! If their parents didn't love us already they sure would now!

It was a great party and Christian had a blast! He can hardly wait for his next birthday party when he turns 16! LOL O.K. maybe I will give in and let him have one when he turns 15...Seriously WHATEVER!
