Megan's 10th Birthday Party-Sleepover

This year for Megan's 10th Birthday party we had the party at our house with a sleepover.
We had 7 girls plus Megan. We had a lot of activities planned because I learned long ago when you have this many girls you need to keep them very busy.
The theme Megan choose was Egyptian. So one of the activities we planned was a Mummy wrapping contest




















We also had a very successful Scavenger hunt in the back and front yards combined. They had to find a list of items from something that doesn't belong in nature, to something that starts with the letter M, to things we planted like a compass and snakes to go along with the Egyptian theme and exploring.
We then had a egg toss just because they are fun. This activity was one of the girls favorites.
In fact one of the girls had another sleep over at our house after the Birthday Party and asked if they could have an egg toss. So it was a very simple game that the kids loved very much.
Then through out the night we made cupcakes and decorated them, we decorated pillow slips for the girls to take home. We made melt beads, played Twister, and the girls had their own whacky talent show and here are a couple of pictures from those activities.


Then we made virgin Shirley Temple's because Megan wanted drinks in "fancy" glasses with umbrellas.

I heard a lot of the girls saying that this was the funnest party they had been too, and that it was even funner than their own Birthday party.
I was thrilled because I just wanted Megan to have a good time and I think she did.
And here is a group shoot of all the girls at the Party.

I know that the girls talked about her party for a while at school.
I would not mind having a party like this again simply because it was so much fun.

  1. So adorable! My daughter wants to have a tea party this year. I have to book a nice event space NYC for that because the house is under renovation and I don’t want to spoil her birthday because of that. It was good coming across this post. It seems like the kids had a great time.
