My sister's birthday party and sleepover was even more fun than I had hoped. The invitation said to come as a fairy, or dress witchy and magical, or be comfy cozy. I made myself a witch hat, but couldn't resist being a fairy. Sissy, who is about as wide as a stick of gum, had this skirt for me to borrow (she wears it with LOTS of safety pins).
Cousin Paula fair-ied it up too. She found the hair extensions at her local dollar store on clearance for 11 cents!!! We added some wings to her from Sissy's collection. I thought Sugarwings had a lot of sparkly wings and dress up clothes, but my sister has her beat.
Everything is magical at Sissy's house. Everywhere you look, there is something that sparkles.
Her home was the perfect location for a magical birthday party. We only had to gather up pretties that were already in the house to decorate with.
There were enough crystal balls to start her own magic shop…
Of course, we had to add some edible glitter to the pink cupcakes!
Plus confetti on the counter tops. And on the table tops. And on the floor. And on each other…. Sissy will be vacuuming those up for weeks.
We each lit a candle and made a wish for Bobbie for the upcoming year.
The weekend didn't last nearly long enough, but was one big slumber party the whole time. We stayed at Sissy's, had the big event for Bobbie on Friday, then on Saturday, we honored our Mother on the anniversary of her death.
We decided to do things she loved to do with us. We went to Goodwill to shop, saw a scary movie and at popcorn at the theater, then went out to a restaurant she enjoyed (and one that we had a coupon for, to save money!)
Mom would have loved it. And the fairy party too, you are never too old to enjoy laughing and being silly with people you love.
Karla, what a fun party and also a lovely way to remember your mom.

It’s no wonder that Sugarwings is such a beauty…your spirit is so full of charm…and what a great way for grown ups to spend a birthday…I am sure your mother smiles at the very thought of you. You have made my day….again!
Great parties over here! Everyone is looking forward to their birthdays I guess in stead of nagging about age! Too bad that your mom couldn’t be there, but her spirit was, you did take care of that in a great way! I have learned a lesson again today, thanks!
Karla, what a wonderful way to remember your mom…the party looks like a lot of fun!!!
Now I’M jealous! Of your family! How wonderful to have such loving,supportive sisters to fun and frolic together–who “get” each other. sigh. I hope you know how truly blessed you are. (I have a feeling you do!) 😉
Oh, how wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing that with us!! What a lucky bunch of ladies you are to have each other!!
