Micayla's 6th Birthday Party

On Saturday 28th October, Micayla celebrated her 6th birthday with a disco party. We decorated the garage with disco lights, ball and had a smoke machine. There was a total of 26 kids but thankfully I didn't have to feed them lunch. The party was from 2.30 to 4.30pm and they nibbled away on party food till it was all gone and drank coloured lemonade. They couldn't believe how I could make plain lemonade turn orange, blue, yellow, red, purple, pink or green just by pouring it into a cup. We played, musical statues, limbo, pass the parcel and smashed away at a pinata as hard as they could, but still it wouldn't break. They had so much fun dancing to all the latest Top 40 songs (and so did Mel and I) and also did the Macarena, the birdy dance and the hokey pokey (and so did Mel and I). We ran out of time to to do the conga line. They were also given glow sticks at the beginning of the party, which they made into bracelets, necklaces and earings. They were glowing everywhere. Micayla's birthday cake was ice cream and decorated in sugar crystals and stars, which I made all myself. Micayla said her party was cool and she loved celebrating it with all her friends. She was also very lucky to have Kealy stay over for a sleepover and they both slept on the air mattress together on the floor in her bedroom. The first thing they did in the morning was play with Micayla's dress ups. Her room look liked a bomb had gone off.

Even though the pictures don't show it, it was dark in the garage and the disco lights and glow jewellery lit up the room. One side of the room was decorated with black sheets and a purple sheer cloth with glitter spots all over it draped in front and the lights glittered off the glitter.
