Somebody turned 9!

Nine??? How can it be? Just yesterday she was this tiny little thing and now she's a Tween!! It was a lovely party. With the temperature at near zero outside (Yes!! My friends in the South!! That's Zero degrees FAHRENHEIT!!) But inside, it was a tropical delight, Hawaiian style. The little girls wore swimsuits and grass skirts or shorts and beach shirts or cute little sundresses! They made tissue paper flowers for their hair, played coconut bowling, beach relay, had a hula hoop contest and learned to do the hula dance. A day for fun! All planned and designed by Mommy and Daddy, including the beach scene on the homemade cake.
