Slumber Party!

The cousins' slumber party began Thanksgiving evening around 6PM. All of the kids were so excited to get the party started that they couldn't wait any longer for the fun to begin. The party included Mitchell, Brittney, Grant, Jessica, Bradley, Cayden, Colby, William, Joseph, Camber, Andrew and Josh.

The first activity was playing Guesstures.

Everybody had a turn at acting out the funny things on the cards. The "Dolphin Team" beat the "Warrior Team" by many points. Brittney was the best guesser in this game!

The next game was called "Don't Eat Pete." This game includes eating candy and some of the kids couldn't wait to have their turn to eat as much candy as possible until we all yelled, "Don't eat Pete!"

This was Andrew's favorite activity. He loved eating the candy corns!

Our next game was a game that involved eating a Hershey's chocolate bar. All of the kids sat in a circle and rolled two dice. If they rolled doubles, they were able to go to the center of the circle, put on some oven mitts and a hat, and then use a plastic fork and knife try to eat as much chocolate as possible. Due to the extreme excitement of this game, we had to play it more than once!Jessica rolled doubles more than anyone else in the circle. Needless to say, she was able to eat the most chocolate!

The next activity was to play Twister. Sometimes there were too many kiddos on the mat, but they didn't mind, the game just continued.
In this picture you can see that Justin was crashing the party! He was doing a good job with left foot and right foot on red!

Next we took some time to tell scary ghost stories. Its always fun to hear stories told by 4 year olds and 7 year olds. They all end up being about the same story with slight twists. All of the kids were very brave during story time and weren't afraid at all.

Lastly, our evening ended with a sleepover upstairs at Grandma's house. Everyone crowded around the TV to watch "Kung Fu Panda." Half of the party goers were asleep before the movie ended. The rest were able to stay awake long enough to watch "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas." And those who were still awake after the 2nd movie, put deodorant in Mitchell's face and quietly snuck around the house; typical slumber party behavior.

The only place Andrew would sleep was with his big cousin Mitchell!
So many party goers, so little space!

The following morning, the party continued with cinnamon rolls for breakfast and a continuation of digging a hole across the street. Anyone who digs as many holes as these kids must truly be a ROBLES!
