"Panda"-monium: Brooke's 8th birthday

Brooke's 8th birthday brought plenty of reasons to celebrate and not just because of her choice to be baptized. Turning 8 in our house also means Brooke is now allowed to have slumber parties which Brooke promptly took advantage of by having a slumber birthday with 3 of her closest friends. She couldn't really decided what theme she wanted between Pandas, or Princesses, or Star Wars so she decided to combine all three and have a "Panda Princess Leia" party. Brooke had all the party details planned out with me getting to test out my face painting abilities and Shan making a feast sweet enough for our Panda Princess. The girls got to make their own pizzas as well as pillowcases and Brooke even got her wish of throwing a whipped cream pie in her Daddy's face. The girls then all snuggled in on the couch for a night of movies. Needless to say, I never knew how exhausting throwing a slumber party can be for the parents but we all had lots of fun making lifelong memories!!
