Samantha's birthday party

This year Samantha opted for a mustache themed party.  At first she said she wanted the theme to be randomnesss, and that's kind of what it was.  I made blue mustache shirts for all of the kids to wear, and we had pie instead of cake.  For party games we played twister, had a lip sync contest, and played a round of mafia.  The girls all had a great time.  There was a campout that weekend, so Joseph and John were gone and Nathan went over to a friends house for the party.  Justin was out of town buying a house for us, so it truly was just a girl party.  I like to keep things pretty simple, so it wasn't too elaborate, but just the thing for my fun 10 year old girl.  We sure love her.

 The girls playing twister.  There were more than 8 players, so we had to make a bigger mat.

 Samantha.  She is really a super sweet girl.  She has grown a lot this year and getting close to my height.  She's on John's schedule . . . so it won't be long until she is taller than me.

Lip sync contest costumes and props.  They mainly danced to Taylor swift songs.  Samantha has a really nice group of friends.  We will miss them when we move to connecticut and hope she makes new ones quick!
