Emily's 10th birthday

Emily had her 10th birthday party last Saturday with all her best friends. She decided to have a Clue mystery party so we turned our house into the clue game. Emily was of course Miss Ruby Scarlette. Since some of the characters in the original game are men we decided to rename the characters as nieces of the originals like violetta plum, olivia collard green, etc. The house became Boddy mansion and we made our own playing cards and game sheets to suit our characters, rooms of our house and new weapons. We used silly weapons like a feather duster, magic wand, jump rope and squirt gun. I asked Sarah and 2 of her friends to be hostesses to help serve our mystery lunch and to play the clue game with them. The items on the menu had mystery names so you really didn't know what you were ordering. All the girls ended up figuring out the menu items. Everyone seemed to have a blast. Emily decided to make her signature ice cream cake for dessert which was gone in no time.

I can't believe my little one is 10 years old and over 5 feet tall. amazing.
