Olivia's first mass-sleepover started with lots of screaming, squealing and giggling on Friday night at 5pm. The girls went straight up to Olivia's room and tried on all of Cacoo's old dance costumes. Once they found a suitable outfit, they danced around her room, ran around the house and never really settled down. The decibel level was quite high until late in the night.
Posing for a picture was an exercise in futility - they were just having so much fun and being so silly that they could barely contain themselves.
Olivia was very happy with her Hannah Montana ice cream cake.
The girls finally started winding down about 9pm. They decided to get dressed for bed and lay out their sleeping bags on the floor in Olivia's room. After an hour or more of turning the lights on and off, giggling, listening to more music and telling stories, I finally heard someone say, "Would you please just go to sleep?" a few times. I decided to take my book in and read until they quieted down enough to fall asleep. It took about 5 minutes for everyone to completely pass out!Morning came early on Saturday. Will had to get up early to make rounds and go to a meeting at his office so I was on my own. I first heard the girls rustling a little bit after 6am, but they didn't really get up (or need me to get up!) until 7am. We had Sister Shuberts rolls and fruit for breakfast which was a hit. They watched some of the Hannah Montana movie, dressed up some more and made slap bracelets before parents starting coming to retrieve them at 9:30.
Even though Olivia said she had a great time, it will be a while before she's allowed to invite THAT many girls over to spend the night again!
