When we asked Rebecca what she wanted to do this year for her birthday, she said, "I want to have friends over to play video games, eat pizza and red velvet cake, and do make-overs." So, we accomodated the diva's party demands, and had a slightly chaotic but fun time. She invited 8 friends from school and church. Amber and I did the hair and make-up, while girls played Guitar Hero and Wii (Wii Sports, Disney/Pixar Cars, High School Musical Sing It!- thanks to Cammi back when we got the Wii), dolls, and played with Gretchen, our dog. In fact, the girls wanted to take thier pizza to the patio table outside, and next thing we knew, the dog had enjoyed a couple of slices too. Needless to say, she was happy!
Princesses Ryan and Mallory!
Time for cake!

The preparations- Hair basket, makeup basket, and goody bags. We had three different hair glitters, lots of hairpins, face and body glitters, and plenty of q-tips to apply all of it! I was pleased to find plates and napkins at Target that matched my homemade goody bags very well!
Each goody bag was hand sponged and glittered, hole-punched, and tied with raffia. Inside, they got their own hairbrush and ties, lip smackers, lotion or body wash, stickers, gel pens, jolly ranchers and note pads. The girls and I had fun going to the dollar store and putting them together.

and the very pretty and delicious red velvet cake from Bothof's Bakery. We almost got the cup cakes instead, but I just couldn't do it-I wanted her to have a cake!A simple party, yet still fit for a diva! We all had fun celebrating with her!
