The night before Delaney's birthday we threw her a surprise party. And she was definitely surprised, which is a miracle considering her younger brothers knew all about it...but they never let the cat out of the bag! The party was to the theme of the Twilight books, which was perfect because the 4th and last book in the series was just released the Saturday before the party. We got her friend Sade (Sha-day) to keep her occupied for a couple of hours while we decorated and did the last minute stuff. The party was set to be outside, and because the forecasted thunderstorm of the day never occurred, we got it all set up. Of course, just as the guests started to arrive the wind whipped up and ominous clouds rolled in, so we all moved the party inside. Turned out to be a good move, because as I picked up Delaney and Sade to bring them home the skies literally opened up and it began to pour. Rather than be dismayed, I was delighted as the Twilight books are set in the rainy town of Forks, Washington, so it was the perfect setting for our party! Delaney came home and was totally shocked to see all her friends screaming and shouting 'Surprise' at her. She and Sade had gone to the pool and Delaney ~ good sport that she is ~ didn't even bat an eyelash that she was not all gussied up for the party. She did quickly go changed into something red to go along with the theme and then was out in a flash to join the party. We played a Twilight Jeopardy game (those girls really know those books by the way!) And we had lots of great Twilight Tunes and munchies and cake as well as lots of talking and giggling- a dozen teen girls! - going on. It was a great night full of birthday and Twilight fun.
