Eight is Great

So my sweet girl is eight.  Eight!  She planned her whole party herself and had a blast. 

She and eight girlfriends had a "faux sleepover".  They arrived in their pjs and danced, did crafts, ate, and played. 

Luca was in on the action too.  He asked Mia if he was going to be invited and she said, "Well, of course."  He's never too far away from her.
Before her friends arrived, our wonderful neighbor surprised Mia by writing Happy Birthday Mia in chalk out front. 


Mia decorated the playroom with balloons and dimmed the lights.  This was the "dance party".  She made a mix of her favorite dance music and gave her friends the cd too. 

Our awesome cousin Lyla, who is super cool and in high school, came over to facilitate.  Here they are playing musical sleeping bags.

Mia's "BCF" (Best Cousin Forever). 

The girls made barrettes after they ate. 


Mia wanted tie dye and peace signs on her cake. Happy 8th birthday dear Mia!!
