12 on the 12th Detective Style

My Rebecca Rae celebrated her 12th birthday on the 12th!  I will let the pictures explain the day ….

   

Rebecca loves Stephanie Jump.  She offered to do a gel manicure for her on her birthday.

We then went shopping with Kaylee and out to lunch.  For her birthday dinner she chose Olive Garden.

 

We did a few birthday pictures that afternoon ….

                  

The next weekend we had a friend mystery party.  We gave them these mini file folder invitations.

We had caution tape everywhere and a chocolate “dead body” cake.

 

The girls got sunglasses, badges with their pictures, mustache, and then a goody bag that had a little detective kit in it.  They also were given little spiral notebooks to decorate and use for the games.

 

Each of the members of our family were the suspects.  We had Kaylee as the Clumsy Cook, Jerrica as the Geeky Gamer, Nathan as the Sassy Soccer player, Jacob as the Pathetic Painter, and Ashley as the Bubblegum Ballerina.  Each had a game and clue in their room.  Kaylee did the memory game where you have one minute to memorize the objects and then write them down.

 

Nathan was outside with his soccer ball and did a fingerprint thing with them.  It was like pulling teeth to get the boys to do this, but then watching them with the girls I thought they actually didn’t mind.  Jacob was in the loft and did a sketch artist game.  He described a mug shot to the girls and they had to draw what he was describing.  They laid all of their notebooks in front of him afterwards and he picked the picture closest to his as the winner of the prize.  Ashley had a CD of noises.  They had to identify each one and and the one that identified the most won that prize.  She had 30 random noises that Stephen helped burn to a disc off of the internet.  Jerrica did a secret code game with the girls at her station. 

 

Super fun night with all these cute girls!!!

       

Anyway, Happy Birthday Ravishing Rebecca!!!
