my dauthers birthday is the day before Halloween. We started throwing parties on Halloween for her birthday 7 years ago. We always had them at home and really decked the place out with the halloween theme. The first year, about 15 kids showed up. The news spread around about how much fun they had and every year it has gotten bigger. One year 45 kids came and 17 spent the night. This year we rented out a building for the first time and had the big disco bash which was the first time we had not used the halloween theme. Just needed a change I guess but it was great. My friend who is a DJ came and did the whole thing. He wouldn't let us pay him a cent either which was nice but I still feel guilty. You can't tell from those pictures but we had all kinds of really cheesey lights from the 70's including a huge revolving disco ball that really looked cool. In the summer we have done a luau a few times and had about 30 of her friends show up.mood swung wrote:you are quite the athlete, mr. foyle: proud member of the U2Bowling Alliance, Property of Virgina Football, intrepid mountain climber...
crash, your party looks like fun and gives me some ideas for my daughter's sweet sixteen.
crow, you look so handsome, even with the redeye. aren't crows supposed to have red eyes? and say caw-caw? I always get that mixed up.
Believe it or not my wife and I love this. As parents we also have been able to get to know most of her friends and they now all feel very comfortable around us. I think it has really helped us to stay close to our daughter and hopefully she will have really good memories of all this as she grows through life. I know I will.
Anyway, I hope your daughters sweet 16 is awesome. I am trying to think of a way to top all this other stuff for my daughter's 16th too. may be touch. maybe Vegas... .....well maybe not.
