Happy 8th Birthday Rian

Hey! Well my little mini me turned 8 earlier this month! Eight years with this spunky, free-spirited, independent, loving, beautiful girl.






So since she only had a hint of a birthday party last year, she had a little extra this year. Rian had been asking for a murder mystery party and I immediately thought of Escapology. But once it came time to choose a game, she decided on Who Stole the Mona Lisa? The vibe there was Steam Punk and super cool. If you don't know Rian very well, she has an older sense of taste. So she was very excited with Escapology. 

So they don't allow any photos or video beyond this point. ^^^ Hence the death stare.

Well we did our best, but we did not solve the game before our time was over. And let me tell you that having to work together was, ummmmm, challenging, at times.

Once we were done with Escapology, we headed next door to meet up with Rian's friends to keep the celebration going...


Let the bowling party begin...




















I have to make a note of this... I have never ordered the perfect amount of cake. I always order way too much and get stuck eating cake for a week. Ok, let's be real, I really don't mind leftover cake. But I was so proud of myself this year.
















We had a blast celebrating Rian. She has a great group of girlfriends that just added to the fun! Thank you so much to her friends for joining us and for her gifts!!! 

And thanks to you all for stopping by! And should I say I'm all caught up on the blog! Yay!!!

xoxo
