Christmas Party 2015!

It's been one whole year since we had a SuperGirls get together.

For some reason, I thought that with the girls being older, the chaos would be at a lower level.

Ha ha! Silly me. Thank goodness Peyton and Emme were there to help me out.

There was lots of talking, giggling, dancing,  screaming and sitting on each other.

I had the girls fill out a questionare asking them things like:

What was your favorite part of the summer?

What will you be doing in 10 years?

If you could have a super power what would it be?

I collected them without names and read them out loud and we all guessed who's paper it was.

Good news...all of them said they would be attending college or art school in 10 years!

Many of them would fly for their super power.

We talked a lot about "crushes" which was something new!

After chatting it up, we looked at old pictures from SuperGirl parties years ago.
They loved seeing how "little" they all were. It was a fun trip down memory lane.





Next, they formed teams for a Gingerbread House building contest.

What started as an organized effort to actually make a house, quickly turned into a "let's put as much candy, frosting and sprinkles on graham crackers so it looks like a bomb went off".

So, there really wasn't a winner for that competition.

Dancing and pictionary wrapped up our evening. They told me I was too old to dance but I proved them wrong.

It was great to see everyone and
they  picked up right where they left off a year ago.

I will try to plan another get together before the school year comes to an end.








Have a wonderful Christmas!

For to us a child is born

to us a son is given

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Isaiah 9:6

Christmas Fun

There were quite a few girls missing from
our donuts
and jammies Christmas together.

Whether from last minute illnesses
or other activities that came up
there were only 6 out of 14 girls.


Of course that didn't put a damper on the fun!







First, I gave the group some time to examine our tree. Then they had to write down as many ornaments as they could remember.
Anjolina won with 18.

They also told me their favorites and
the top winners are always angels,
hearts and stars.


After doing some catch up to see how everyone was liking school and preparing for Christmas break we jumped right into eating donuts.



After our sugar high kicked in we exchanged gifts and decorated some ornaments with sharpies and glitter.
I was lucky enough to receive a couple of them.

We always watch a short video of the Nativity story performed by little kids from New Zealand. It so is so sweet and the girls love their accents.

What better way to make a huge mess in the kitchen then to let them create winter scenes with cans of shaving cream?

Two teams were formed:

Genevieve, Anjolina and Traci had a very structured minimally messy scene including a skating rink, snowmen and a sliding hill.

Mia, Lily and Ella used their entire can of shaving cream, pipe cleaners, puff balls, green sprinkles, and action figures to make it look like a bomb went off in a winter wonderland.
Lucky for them, my seven year old son was the judge so they won!

Santa beards!

After cleaning up, which wasn't the easiest task,
there were piggy back rides,
jumping and dancing in the living room.

Lots of screaming and giggling (while laying on each other's stomachs) to make it a festive and fun Christmas party.

We will try for a bigger group during winter break or Valentine's day!

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Last day!

3rd and last summer of SuperGirls is a wrap!

We had a fun filled last day.

Homemade t-shirts were crafted using fabric paint, sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol.
(they can be turned inside out and washed normally in warm/hot water that will set the color).

After that it was photo booth time and dancing.
*Photos will arrive in the mail in a few days.

That is all of the words I have right now. The pictures will say it all.

I love all of these girls and treasure our time together.

Have a great rest of the summer...

...much smaller in 2011

Sharing the same chair

Everyone wanted Holly in their photo!
