The First Teenage Birthday Party

This past weekend Husband Jared and I hosted the first, of what I am sure is to be many, teenage birthday parties here at the homestead.  Thing 1's birthday was approaching and she invited 12 of her comrades over for some fun.  I was not sure what to expect.  I was brave.  I boldly asked if we should have craft time, maybe decorate cookies, or possibly make our own pizzas.  What was I thinking?  After a heavy sigh I collected my thoughts and begin planning the food.  Craft time, no thanks Mom. 

Music, food and a newly hung disco ball!  Recipe for a party.  And a party it was.  The teenagers enjoyed treats, cake and icecream, and F-U-N!

Take a look.
