As many of you know, Alexis is the star DJ at our house and car. (In fact she has considered making it a profession some day) She is often found twirling through my ipod in search of a great song to listen to. Well, it was time for her annual summer late over last Friday night. After tossing a few ideas around a music party stuck and we began our planning.
She helped make the invitations and we delivered them. They were instructed to bring two of their favorite CDs and a treat to share with everyone. It ended up being a very fun night. She had friends, Christina, Shaylynn, Kendra, Kaydee, Maddi, Emi, and Paige. They made their own pizza bombs which turned out to be gigantic. We then played a few games. Music Charades was they had to act out the name of a song…They put the name of an animal in a bowl and then took turns drawing one out and making up a dance to that animal…and of course we played name that tune and had a lip sync. Favorite songs of the night were, “Bubbly” by Colbie Caillat, “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles, and “Picture to Burn” by Taylor Swift, “With You” by Chris Brown, and “See You Again” by Miley Cyrus.
After the food and games, they watched the premier of “Camp Rock” on the Disney Channel, starring the singing Jonas Brothers. It was a hit as many of the girls really like the Jonas Brothers.
It ended up being a really fun night for the girls and stress free night for the mom. Eleven year olds are so fun, they think anything is great as long as they are together and they are also old enough to keep their own games going! Love it!!!

I have always loved young ladies at eleven years old. The seen to have a purity and intelligence that is preparing them to enter into adolescence with strong values and a resolve to do what’s right. I think it’s a pivotal year of their lives. “How near to the angels is youth that is clean.” It’s a great time to make goals for dating and high school.
