"Tween Birthday Sleep Over"

Well I survived my daughter Mikayla's 12th birthday. She invited six of her friends for a slumber party. Craig took Savannah to my mom's to go swimming (Coward!) We started with snacks, then to Pizza then cake and lastly popcorn and a movie all the while giggles and laughter abound. They played games and sang Karaoke. I just sat back and watched 7 young girls having more fun imaginable. When Craig returned, he and Savannah retreated to the back room (where they stayed the rest of the night) and after the movie approx. 1:30am I retreated to the spare room exhausted while the girls layed in the sleeping bags playing there Nintendo Ds's till about 3:am. Oh to be young again!

Hi Mel and Family -
I love your blog!
Mel, you are a brave, brave woman to host a party for that many young ladies. Your comment about being young again made me LOL - being young to maybe mid 20's sounds pretty good but that's young enough...
The crab in your second post looks fantastic! I love crab, Alaska King Crab - I have a terrific picture of your Dad and Gram at Mom and Dad's feasting on crab I had sent down ages ago.
Anyway - I'll look forward to future post. Love From Your Alaska Cousin, Laurie
