We had told Emery she wasn't going to have a birthday party this year, since she had one last year. I think it may have broken her heart. So about a month ago I decided to give in and give her another party, but I hadn't told her about it yet (maybe hoping that my guilt would go away and I could avoid another party) :(
I always do BIG parties, with a theme...you know, the works. So as I was thinking of a theme and kind of what she's been into lately. She always runs around with her little notebook searching for clues to a real mystery. So I thought about doing a detective/spy party. Then I thought...I haven't told her she can have a party yet.....why not make it a SECRET spy surprise party!
So then I came up with these adorable invites. It was tons of fun. The girls were so cute about keeping it a secret, even some of the parents had fun with the TOP SECRET surprise, and left really cute r.s.v.p.s.


I didn't tell my younger boys, for fear they would let it slip (Will mostly) but Ethan had to be in on it. He was able to sneakily get the invites to a couple of the girls at school that I didn't know.
It was a lot of fun! The girls had a blast, and I really don't think Em had a clue!!
I made the cutest cake that looked way cuter in person (or so I will have you believe)


Played some super fun games. (the girls wanted more)

The girls were adorable and so much fun to have at a party. (9 is a great age) What a good group of girls!! I loved them all!


Finally something to blog about! Since my kitchen was finished, I haven't done a single thing. It's been kinda nice.
