Nellie had a birthday party ;)

Because Nellie's Grandpa's 80th birthday party falls on her "golden birthday", She had a "How to Host a Mystery" party; "Love Potion # 5" LAST weekend. Here's Megan, Linda, Cody and Dallin
Part of Nellie's character was that she was secretly obsessed with becoming a magician

Here's Caren reading one of her clues pertaining to her character



We had a couple of "no shows" so Lee and Emilee had to fill in for a couple of the characters for the evening. Here's Lee/Trusty Campaigning for President of the U.S. (HIS secret "passion")with . . . strawberries


See all the cups of "love potion"? YIKES!




Cody was a great sport and really got into his character - he wanted to be a race car driver





Melissa's secret passion was that she dreamed of lighting and carrying the Olympic torch someday. See her torch?






Dishing up the peanut butter ice cream cake







And a birthday wish to top it off! I think the favorite part of the night was after this when the kids had about an hour to play hide and go seek in the back yard. Yep . . . who knew??

How can Nellie be 15? I remember being jealous when you whispered in my ear that you were expecting baby #7. Oh how time flies.
