Holly's Birthday

It's seems like all I blog about are birthdays. This time it's Holly's 16th. Her party was held at the local skating rink, and the theme was a Chinese water garden. The cakes turned out ok, but I'm not sure Mom and I will ever try to make our own fondant again.

Sushi cakes.
Also paper plum blossoms.

Rosie's Birthday

Rosie's Birthday involved a dozen 13/14 year old girls spending the night. Activities included eating junk food, getting reminded that this party is PG, general hullaballoo, staying up 'till five in the morning, and Chaos. Lots of Chaos.

Rosie's new zebra striped necklace.
Zebra is apparently required of all teenaged girls.

Card Games. The most tame I saw them all night.

No idea what they're doing.
At least they stopped playing truth or dare.

They covered their cell phones in duck-tape.
I was told I wasn't cool enough to understand.
