Happy Birthday Avrianna

 Where did the 13 years go?  Look how far you've come!  October 24 2002 had to be one of the scariest days of my life up to that point as 8 weeks before your due date my water broke and You came into this world on YOUR terms and fought to thrive. You are an amazing, caring, smart, compassionate, beautiful young lady and I am so proud of you!!  

 

 We had our traditional family bday party the day before at Luigi's Pizza for a football Luigi's special.  Of course Av won't eat pizza with all the yummy fixings on it so we got a Large sausage in addition to this HUGE pizza.

 13 Balloons

 Of course we had to do some bday shopping for boots that she wanted.  Dan picked up 13 gorgeous roses for her

 The morning and afternoon of her bday Av and I worked the Girls Dive Invite at Neenah High School

Then around 4 the friends showed up to the house and we had ourselves a party :)

The Gross Sensory bags.....they could only put their hands in to try and figure out what was really in  the bags.

 

Scabs=bacon bits, Snot=applesauce, Brain=sponge soaked in oil, Puppy tongues=dried apricots, Mystery=fake big tarantula, Worms=spaghetti noodles in oil, Cockroaches=popcorn, Fish eyes=Orbeez, Ears=thin dried out sliced of apple, Maggots n bugs=minute rice and raisins in oil, Diarrhea= mushed bananas (my personal favorite as I mushed them the day before and they turned brown, ha even better!)

We played minute to win it games.

Nose Dive ~  Take a pom or a cotton ball tie it to a string, put a dab of Vaseline on their noses and with flipping the string from you mouth not using your hands try to get the pom stuck to your nose

I think it was more entertaining for me to watch them.  LOL

 Separation Anxiety ~ take M & M's in a pile and sucking them up to the end of the straw drop them in the same color candy cups

 Get the cookie ~ place an Oreo on your forehead and without using your hands get the cookie in your mouth

 Weirdly enough this is NOT Av's favorite thing to do at her parties....she'd rather not open gifts and just play.  She says she feels weird about getting gifts.

 

 This years "theme" was Neon glow in the dark so I got my creativeness out and made tie dye cupcakes n cake.  

Thankfully she didn't request some crazy decorating as the tie dying was tricky enough :)  Even more awkward for her is when we sing Happy Birthday :)  Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy BIRTHDAY Avrianna, Happy Birthday to you

 Stick people fun ~ Lights on

 Lights off

Awesome!!

 You know it was a good time when the garbage can looks like this at the end of the night.  You'd think they would have left it all on while playing night games outside, but I guess then they would be easy to find.

We ended up having 3 of the girls sleeping over that evening and then it was up early to get ready to head over to church and put to help with the get together for the kids that were confirmed this year.  It was quite the busy weekend but it went well :)
