jasmine's 9th birthday party

Jasmine turned 9 on August 24th.  She wanted to have a Hawaiian

party so we set out to prepare.  Everything you see in these photos

as far as decorations was on clearance... whole party...$15! 

YIPEEE and a whole lot of fun!

I decided to make her cake from a photo she found in a book.  I am glad my

children are so easy to please!

The decorations!

Then it was off to the picture taking.  Jireh wasn't too sure about all the

hoola skirt stuff!

The girls with the bird!  HA!

When the guest arrived they went out and played pass the coconut (like

hot potatoe) and then came in for treats.

We had lots of fresh fruit including a real pineapple and a real coconut.

They drank strawberry/banana sluchies!

Then it was on to the gift opening.  She got many nice gifts.

A puzzle board, jewelry, polly pockets, webkin, doll clothes,

American Girl books and notebook things.

Then it was on to the yard for some games.  They jumped in the trampoline, played

on our park slide and then played some volleyball.  Back to the trampoline for the most fun.  It was a beautiful evening. 

Jasmine is such a sweetheart and growing into quite a young lady.
