We all know how stressful it can be during the holiday season for everyone so we usually hold Cherise's birthday parties in January. (But if we're lucky we sometimes can sneak it in in early November) We heat up the pool and light the fire pits and invite all and I mean ALL of Cherise's friends.
They always tell us how much they look forward to her parties and they ALL show up. There is usually from 16 to 25 girls. They swim into the wee hours and then get up and swim in the early morning.
This year we added a new activity...Dance Factory by Playstation 2...and it was a HUGE HIT! They loved the fact that they could use their own music CD's. Even the big brother's got into the swing of things....
This year was the best by far...no furniture, doors, or anything else was broken this time... maybe a few spots on the carpet...but nothing big. Long story... Anyways, you can tell by my smile...fun was had by all...even me...tiring but fun.

The best part of these get togethers is that we get spend time with these 7 kids...they have known each other since preschool. We were all transplates to the Central Valley and somehow ended up at the same Parent Coop Preschool if you can believe that! And we are still good friends...even though one of us got out and moved to Monterey...by the beach...BRATS....we still love them. The brothers are behind the sisters...only one older sister is missing...that's why there is a blank spot.
