She found a box of beads that belonged to the little girl whose parents hosted the party. She decided to beautify herself by putting on as many as she could (then taking them off, putting them on, taking them off, putting them on....you get the idea). Pretty soon about every girl in the room was wearing at least one strand of beads, and even the one boy, her best friend, Kaden. She's such a little trend setter!
Toward the end of the evening we took a group picture of all of our kids (there were about 8 or 9 couples there, and upwards of 12 little ones--some had left and one had gone to bed by the time we took the picture). There wasn't room for our little one to sit on the couch, so she, Kaden, and another little girl sat on the back of the couch while the other two moms and I hunched down behind the couch and held them up there. The rest of the parents were standing out in front either taking pictures or clapping and trying to make everyone smile. Well, our daughter, the life of the party, decided she was a super star or something, and started cheering, squealing and smiling like crazy. 
She's the only smiling one in the bunch! I think Leah, the little girl below her, is crying because she got kicked in the head by my little one's foot! We're sorry, Leah!
She put up a fuss when we had to leave; she was having such a great time. We got home around 8, a little bit past her bedtime, but not too late (Yeah, I know...we're quite the party animals, aren't we? But everyone else was leaving too, so we weren't the only ones. That's what happens when you have kids, I guess). After we got her in bed we put in a movie, but I was asleep on the couch within a half hour! Some date I was! I was in bed and sound asleep well before the new year, but that's just fine with me!
Happy New Year!
What a fun night! Leah was crying because of the loud and excited screams. She does not like loud and screaming, it had nothing to do with Rachel's feet! Love Rahcel in the beads!! She was having a GREAT time!
