day 223 - birthday bash #9

the postponed birthday bash #9 was a huge hit today!  lilly and all her friends and family had a wonderful evening of playing.  i've decided that lilly at 9 years is my favorite age :) she is still young enough to wear a silly party hat and want american girl "baby" stuff and yet wants to play hard and have fun!
we rented a huge inflatable slip'n slide for the party.  the girls laughed and splashed around for quite some time - it was a riot to watch.
we played one game using balloons and silly string - it was a good laugh. who doesn't have fun with silly string!
overall - it was a super fun day.  thank you to everyone who came out and helped us celebrate lilly and her birthday.  she had a great time and LOVED all the attention and gifts!
after the party the olthoffs and us hung out together and munched on left overs and watched the closing ceremonies of the olympics.  it's amazing how fast two weeks goes by - it seemed like we were just watching the opening ceremonies together.  we are already looking forward to watching the games again in the coming years and planing our trip to brazil in four years to watch the games first-hand!  well done USA!!
