Gigi turned NINE yesterday!! It is unbelievable that nine years have passed since she made it here on our earth. And what a gift she has been to our family, to our world. This year she became a reader, a lover of books. She grew up, became self reliant as she started a new school, on her own. She is showing her courage and tenacity daily. The love she shares is exceptional and generous, we adore this child! Thus, a perfect party was in order…
She wanted a Nancy Drew party and we went all out! Her invitations were the first clue and came with a book cover invite complete with her face, and a magnifying glass with a shrunk down invitation inside.
The girls arrived for the sleepover and halfway through dinner the doorbell rang! It seems a ghost stole all of the sleepover candies! They had to follow the clues to find them!
They were off and running to find the clue at the school… The hot tub…
To Jude’s room…
And finally to the swing set where they found a piñata full of candy. The third grade girls made short work of our poor ghost and they lamented the shortness of the hunt (for the record it took an hour and a half to solve the mystery- I think that’s pretty good!)
After that it was cake, gifts, dancing and giggles galore. It was a memorable party and a wonderful evening for and with an exceptional girl.
