Anna's Sweet 13- A Mall Scavenger Hunt

Anna asked what she could do for her party that was fun.  

I knew that this year, my regular cake at my house was not going to work.

We had so much fun planning her Mall Scavenger Hunt Birthday!

Eve was SO excited.

I put stickers on things with mall themes.

Popcorn- from the theatre 

Elsa fruit snacks- from the Disney Store

A bear pencil topper- from Build-A-Bear

Lotion- from Bed Bath and Beyond

Gummy Pizza and Burgers- from the food court

A Ring Pop- from the food court

I gave the girls glasses, a polka dot scarf, and a set of balloons.

We divided into two teams.

And did things like get one nail painted--

Thanks to my sweet friend, Anna's BFF's mom, who took the second group of girls around.

I called the mall and got permission ahead of time.

I brought cupcakes and a tablecloth.

For dinner, I gave the girls each $10.

And, we road the carousel.

After the scavenger (where they took pictures and gathered stuff) we went shopping for a dress for Anna.

She did not get a prom dress.

But many prom dresses were tried on.

What a fun night!  

I love being a mom!

Anna is such a great, intelligent, kind, creative young woman.

I feel blessed to be her mother.

Happy Birthday Sweet 13!!

So grateful for another year together!!

LIFE is good!!
