Paisley was most anxious to get her eleventh birthday party planned! Eleven, people! We put together some darling teddy bear invites for a Teddy Bear Party!
I think I took every part of the party from Abby. She had just told me about Callie's teddy bear party and I think I included every single thing! Paisley is all about stuffed animals.
Have you seen her room?

As girls arrived on the big day to the party they watched Paisley's favorite~ Studio C!
The first activity made me chuckle. As per Abby's example, the girls brought their stuffed animals around the table and put marshmallows on a skewer and toasted over a tealight. Those darn things did not stay lit and I didn't have the time or patience. I put Eli in charge and he was busy.
I served smoothies~ Paisley's favorite! I told the girls how Paisley doesn't just grab any old cup. She always gets the fanciest glasses and adds all sorts of decor and flourishes to her drink. So the girls were treated to Paisley's standards.
Next on Abby's agenda: Skits! I put random items in a bag and the girls had to come up with a skit. They had a blast doing this, of course!

| Back inside for gift opening. I have to chuckle at Zeke, insisting on enormous Bongo as his stuffed animal to bring. |
I had time to change out the tables for the craft. I had the girls turn dollar store socks into warm hats for their stuffed animals and decorate them. Sooooo cuuuuuuute.
That night we sang and enjoyed Paisley. She requested the fruit cheesecake, a family favorite. I love every single one of these shots of sweet Paisley girl!
Just a few days later we enjoyed Paisley at her 5th Grade Program,
We the People.

| Thanks for coming, Grandma and Grandpa G! They're even dressed appropriately. |
A couple of her favorite gals.
I love sweet P at eleven! She has the most tender, kind heart. I love watching her creativity in all she does. She is still my little girl, but also getting older and it is a delight to watch. She is a precious soul through and through!
