Eileen Celebrates Her 8th Birthday With Friends (and a sleepover!)
For Eileen's friend party this year we agreed she could have a sleepover and decided to go with a hotel theme. The girls were invited to the Grand Opening of Hotel Eileen, they ate in the dining room, had their nails done in the salon and watched a movie in the theater room.
We set the table for the girls dinner,
place cards were made,
Eileen was seated at the head of the table,
and the menu cards were placed at each spot.
Before the guests arrived Eileen decided that she needed her hair done, she picked this hair style and loved it!
During the party Olivia worked both the front desk and waited on the girls for dinner service before joining in the fun. Olivia checked each girl in when she arrived and Joseph and Bryan were the bell hops that took the girls bags and brought them downstairs for them.
The girls had choices for their meal which they all seemed to enjoy!
After dinner and gifts it was time for some free play in the basement!
While the girls played they were called up for their nail appointment in the salon (no pictures of that since I had to do the nails).
After everyone had their nails done it was time for dessert! Eileen wanted blue and green cupcakes (they looked like little planet Earths-mental note for Earth Day next year), with blueberry puree and whipped cream.
Following dessert it was time for the craft, each girl used fabric markers to decorate a hand towel that would then go in their goodie bag to take home.
I had Olivia make one in advance to make sure the project would work, here she is showing it off while the other girls worked.
We also made little bottles of soap, lotion, and body spray for the goodie bags.
Along with the mini-bottles and towels, we also sent the girls home with a chocolate truffle, a toothbrush and floss picks.
Finally it was time for pajamas, Olivia gave these to Eileen at the party.
The girls watched Hotel for Dogs and ate popcorn (and trashed the basement-but that was to be expected). They finally fell asleep between 12:30 and 1am.
The next morning they were up at 7:30 ready to go again! The girls had their breakfast on the sun porch. For the continental breakfast we offered them (junk) cereal, go-gurts, applesauce, bananas, and sunny D.
I think the girls enjoyed serving themselves.
Eileen had so much fun and the girls were for the most part very good, it was nice to be able to give Eileen this memory.
And it did make my drive to Madison the next day much easier!
