Girls Night Out Party

Today was the beginning of fall!! The wind was blowing and there was a chill in the air. We came home and we opened all the windows to let the breeze come through. It is also supposed to rain Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, I love the weather here.

So sorry that I didn't post all last week, I was just so busy with working and and planning for the Girls Night Out Party. I have to share with you what happened Thursday when all of us women got together.

I ordered plates, napkins, cups that said Girls Night Out on them. They were so cute!! I also ordered balloons, streamers, cupcake pics, that all matched the Girls Night Out theme.

We wanted something that would attract the ladies and say the party's over here. I think we accomplished it.

Sorry that the picture is a little fuzzy but its still cute.

Me being well...me!

My dearest Angela was a huge help to me. I made her in charge of a game and she rocked. She was a great side kick. Its you and me baby!!!

We had so much food and tons of dessert food as well. No one was hungry and no sweet tooth was unfed.

We had a lovely guest there, the gorgeous Brianna, and she also brought a snack to share and her plastic dress up heels and pink boa. She was adorable!! When I told everyone to put their heels on she got hers out of her bag and put them on.

If you can see I had my clipboard with me all night long. It was my schedule, rules for games, guest list, ect...

I had the women play an ice breaker game and I told them to take off as much toilet paper as they thought that would need. Some only took one square and some took half the roll as you can see in the picture. They then had to tell everyone one fact about themselves for every one square. We played for awhile and found out some interesting things about some people.

April was hilarious when I asked her to take some toilet paper. She took at least two minutes to decide if she wanted 50 squares or 2 squares. She finally just went with 4. She thought that I was going to ask them to stuff their bras.April and Katy were arch rivals when it came to the Yes! Game. Those armbands went back and forth. April just said yes and Katy caught her so she had to give up all of her armbands.April thought that I was going to have them stuff their bras with toilet paper. No but that is a good idea for next time.

April finally got all of the armbands. Its tough when you can't say yes all night long. I put my armband on, I had just gotten it up to my wrist and I lost it by saying yes.

The cupcakes that me and my mom made and those cute cupcake pics. Let me tell you that are are as good as they look.

Michelle brought this cake and she was the one who frosted girls night out on top. Isn't it cute!!!

This was the lipstick game. Everyone had to kiss a piece of paper and then they had to guess who's lips belong to who. It was so funny because some people didn't even know their own lips.

Katy the winner of the lipstick game!!


Brianna's high heels she brought for the game.


Here are some people giving us their best catwalk. The winner got a prize.


Of course Susie won the catwalk. We all knew she would.

These are the favors I made for all of the girls. They thought they were so cute!!

Girls just wanna have fun!!!

We had a blast that night and the girls want to do this at least once a month. They girls really opened up and really got to know each other.
