FRiEnDs DaY!

Growing up my sisters and I LOVED having Friends Day. Once or twice a month my mom would let us invite a slew of friends over and help us bake or make a treat, create a craft, play some fun games, or just do something special with them. I only aspire to be like my amazing mom! The pic below game from one of my special books (She kept books and books of photos and memories for each of us- I have 13 i believe!) and was when I was five. I am sitting with the yellow shirt on... and we just happened to live in Arizona at the time!

So last Friday we had a Friends Day of our own and the girls had a blast. Sydney had 3 friends over from school... Natalia, Sage, and Paula...

And Mia had over Navy and Maggie!

The weather is in the 70's and sunny lately so they had a great time playing outside- jump roping, playing in the sandbox and on the playground, jumping on the tramp, and playing school. They also helped me bake cupcakes! They all wanted to lick the spoons from the batter and loved all the colors we did to make our psychadelic cupcakes.

Thank heavens we frosted and decorated outside because wow... 7 girls sure know how to make a little mess! ha ha. It really wasn't too bad but they loved creating and eating... yum! Look at their amazing creations! So colorful and fun.

Colby also loved baking and making and decorated his inside... not too bad eh?!?

mmm... no fancy decorating for me this time- just a warm cupcake out of the oven with a heap of butter cream frosting!

So have a Friends Day! You'll be glad you did! I was glad that all the girlies got along great and they were all BEGGING to do it every Friday. They were all so polite and respectful and so we can't wait to do it again!
