Ashlyn's HSM Friend Party

Ashlyn's favorite part of her HSM party was the game we came up with. We had the girls all sit in a circle in the living room and played some HSM songs. They had to pass a microphone around the circle while the music played. When the music stopped, the girl holding the microphone had to karaoke to one the HSM songs on the TV from our "stage." Ashlyn was very brave and sang first, the girls were a little shy at first (probably because their parents aren't crazy like me and have the soundtrack in the car)...
By the end of the party, we had built a bigger stage and everyone wanted to sing...it was sure fun! They all had fun learning the songs and I bet are running home to watch the show now (ha, not really!)

Besides the game, we had cake and ice cream, opened presents, and made bookmarks with their names and HSM stickers... Our shy and sweet little girl made it through the whole party awake! We were most excited about that! And she spoke to everyone there - unlike school and church most days because of her introverted personality... there were 2 girls from school who came and 2 girls who go to church and school with her and 2 girls from church. They are all very sweet little girls and so well mannered. Ashlyn is already playing with all her new gifts/crafts and counting down the days to her birthday again!
