Masquerade Garden Party.

This has been a long week. Nick has been in Morogoro, I have missed him terribly. But I have kept myself busy. I started coaching again. I love it and have missed it so much. Also running around trying to find something for Lexxi's party. She invited 4 girls for the night, to have a masquerade garden party. It turned out well and they all had fun celebrating Lexxi.

The masks and the invitations.


The table.


Pictures before dinner. They all dressed up, and put make up on. They acted so old.

At the table.


Cheyenne, Megan C, Caris and Tawnya.




The cake and sparkelers.

Blowing out the candles. After dinner they got thier flashlights and played hide and seek in the dark.


Then they watched the Secret Garden. Had a hard time getting to sleep, they were so chatty. It was a long night for me. lol next time I am just going to put them at the OTHER end of the house!!


Morning pineaple rasperry slush, frenchtoast and fruit Kabobs.


Opening the gifts.


Craft time! decorating masks. There is NO where to buy feathers in Arusha so I got lucky and bought a duster... osterach feathers! After this they had a dance production.


Then Slip n slide. Ethan enjoyed all of Lexxi's older friends! ; )


The masks they made.


The to go gifts. flowers in a mug. Nick missed out on this one but I dont think I will ever do it alone again! Its SO much work without him. lol Lexxi left with the girls on to another party. She has had so much fun this weekend she is sick and so exhausted. We love our little lady who is growing up so beautifully. We are so amazed at God blessing and excited what He has in store for this wonderful child. We love you Lexxi baby!!!
