Silly String....on you....for your birthday?

We've finally been able to settle down a bit from February.  March was relatively calm, though a bit cold for our tastes.

A highlight of this past month was another family birthday.  Carleigh turned 11 on March 22 and we had yet another crazy, family party.  Don prides himself on setting up the perfect photo op for our family get togethers...so, he plotted and planned and kept it secret until all were assembled.

Carleigh's family party was a lunch picnic with close by relatives.

   It was a fun time...especially when Don brought out the Silly String! :)


The object of "the game" was to knock down the characters that had been set up on the table in front of the "players."






Well...the result was achieved, but....the birthday girl got stuck in the middle of it!




I think she enjoyed it!!





Then the leftovers were aimed at my sister, Patty.....




Luckily, it was a nice day outside and the cleanup wasn't horrible.  Don was a good husband, and did most of the cleanup so that the dogs wouldn't enjoy the silly string too much.

I headed in to prepare the birthday cake for my BIG GIRL!!


Carleigh's birthday extravaganza continued with a "Mystery Party" with her friends later that evening.  Each girl came as a scripted character that was invited to Dame Sarah's Mansion to solve the mystery of her missing diamond ring.  It was a fun time.  My mom played the role of Dame Sarah.

Then Rina brought out the wigs that she had in her car for a class that she was teaching...the girls loved those!




And...one more birthday cake!
Happy Birthday Carleigh!!!!!
