Every year; around August or September, all the girls in my immediate family have a girls party. It's like a big slumber party. We paint nails, watch movies, have lots of junk food and just enjoy each others company. This year we got Chinese (one of my favorites) take out and watched "She's The Man." We have all of the younger girls sleep on the floor and all of us adults share the beds, so basically we don't sleep at all. We didn't even finish the movie until 2 a.m. and then you know how girls are : ). Wendy and I shared a bed and the last time we looked at a clock it was 3:30. Then of coarse at 7 a.m. Mattie was wide awake and ready for more fun. So we ate our breakfast (Wendy's yummy breakfast casserole) and got ready for the day. Libby had a soccer game so Heather, Hanna and Libby had to leave early. Grandma had a funeral so she had to leave early too. So Whitney and I painted the younger girls nails and gave them facials.

I forgot to let everyone know who the new faces are, Jessica and her daughter Makenna. Jessica and my brother Larin are dating. Which is why Larin crashed our GIRLS party. Yes he crashed it, because Larin and Jessica live 2 1/2 hours apart they don't get to see each other very often so Larin figured were she was only 1 hour away he had to make good use of it, even if it meant dirty looks from his sister. He hung out with us for a couple hours Friday and then came over Saturday morning for breakfast. Jessica and him had made plans to go to the temple and I offered for their three girls to stay with me. It was great getting to know Makenna better, she loves horses, likes to wear pretty skirts and likes to sing along with movies.

Back to the topic of party crashers, we had another crasher Eric (my nephew). He recently got a new Trans Am and his sister Holli (who lives in Logan) hadn't seen it yet so he stopped by to give her a ride. So of coarse, Heather, Whitney and I had to go for a ride too. It is an awesome car!
