Happy Happy Birthday!

My baby turned 11!! Eleven in Eleven, how exciting, sad fun etc.

She wanted to have a crazy party since she's such a crazy girl.  She originally wanted a crazy outfit contest, a crazy dinner and then off to the park to play some group games she'd been dying to play.  But with the weather being crazy windy and rainy, at the last minute Tanner and I came up with some other crazy indoor games and everyone loved them.  Here is the crazy outfit contest.

Becca!  They all looked, well, CRaZy!!  We had a "spin you dinner" for dinner.  We brought down the spinner from the LIFE game and they had 4 courses.  Depending on which number you spun, you'd either eat:  Pizza, a brownie sundae, ceasar salad or a drink.  When Cynjyn spun her brownie number, that is when we'd sing to the bday girl.  She got candles in hers.

Then they had to pair up and pass the lifesaver between the two of them 3 times. 

They had to get an oreo off their forhead and into their mouth without using their hands.

They had to use a big candy cane to loop a smaller candy cane and then work the small candy cane up to and in their mouth without hands.

They paird up and fed each other pudding with a spoon attached to a big dowel.  They also had to eat 5 crackers for a game.  Have you ever tried to quickly eat 5 crackers before other people?  Try it, it's actually pretty hard and funny to watch.  (I know I have a picture somewhere?!)

They played chubby bunny where you have to put a big marshmellow in your mouth one at a time and then have to say "chubby bunny" after each one.  That was Cynjyn's favorite game.

Then they paired up again and did each other's make up blindfolded!  They all really liked that one.

What do you think?  Are they ready to go out in public?

We ended the evening by playing "body body".   Oh, my, they loved that game.  They played it for an hour straight.  Cards are passed out and someone is the murderer.  The lights go out and it's pitch black.  You wander around and the murder tries to murder everyone by pushing on their  shoulders.  When you're murdered, you drop silently to the ground.  As soon as someone "stumbles" upon you they yell body body and it's a mad dash to the lights.  The lights go on and an accusation is made.  If they are right, the round is over, if they are wrong, the lights go back out and the game continues. 

For Cynjyn's birthday, Tanner's friend Jewel was doing a fundraiser for her church and was painting nails.  Tanner ordered her to come do Cynjyn's.  I decided to get mine done too. 

She does nail art and so Cynjyn got little converse shoe tops on hers.

I just got a fancy design.

She charded three dollars/person and it took her an hour each for our nails.  We love them and had a great time watching her do it.  She's really good.  Cynjyn had a great birthday.  Her actual birthday, Saturday was our ward Christmas party, so we had her party on Friday and then Garry and I took her to Dairy Queen for a treat Saturday afternoon.  She's such a great daughter, we are so happy to have her in our lives.
