So belated. But the birthday girl had a good time. She was a little bummed out that more kids wouldn't be there. But was super excited when she found out that Megan would be there. Her best buddy since WAAAAAY back in kindergarten.
I took the easy way out. I had ordered pizza from Papa Murphy's. (Printed coupons from online.) Good stuff.
I think that she is getting at "that" age where it is sorta difficult to shop for her. That tween stage. We had gotten her an assortment of stuff. Books, a game, a couple Littlest Pet Shop animals. And a few other small items. But I think the thing that she liked the best (from us. She loves all her gifts! Thanks everyone!!) was the $2.00 LPS playset that we found at a garage sale. And to think, all this time we have been buying NEW STUFF for her birthdays. What were we thinking?!?
And Brandon likes it too. Later after everyone had left, the kiddos were playing with the LPS, and when one of the animals was put on the top of the playset, the canopy starting going around! Apparently, you wind it and the magnet on the pet shop animal makes it go. They thought it was the funniest thing.
And now the slideshow... surprised?

To backtrack a bit, we did have cupcakes on Jess' actual birthday. She and her brother took a turn at the "pinata" that she had made in school. Just in case you're keeping track, it has been nearly a month since school let out. She has had this sitting on her desk just waiting for her birthday to roll around.
PS. She has already read the whole book from Great Rachel. (as opposed to Aunt Rachel)
