Reece's Rainbow Fundraiser...

In honor of Chrissie!

The party started at 2pm thisafternoon but I want to tell you all about the previous day too :)
We had been cooking ALL Thursday afternoon and I had to work Friday to Mum stayed home and cooked untill I got home from work at 8pm. My cousins Beth and Sarah are spending the weekend here to so they were a great help in cooking, cleaning and setting up for the party.
Friday night was loads of fun, just hanging out with Sarah and Beth and cooking for Chrissie (:
We ended up pushing two single bed together and all slept in there so we could be together. This was about 11pm, and boy were we tired! A big week at school, and work, and babysitting, and planning a party, and cooking... It really takes it out of you!
All weather forcasts were raining, poring, and in some places snowing! I was nervous about the weather, being stuck inside all day wasn't going to be as good as I had planned!
I woke at about 6am and looked out the window... Can you guess what I saw?
SUN AND BLUE SKYS! Wow! See, God is greater then any news forcast!
God had planned for me to have this party on THIS date and He was going to make it suuny. Great Huh?!
Unfortunatly, it was REALLY windy and chilli outside but that was OK, because it wasn't wet! Amen :)
In the morning we cooked and cooked and cooked! Then set up and decorated the house, perfect for a princess! I was really looking forward to the party, in just a few short hours!!!!
Its hard to think that I had been planning this party since May and it was all going to be over soon enough, kinda a sad thought, but I was really looking forward to it!
Once we had the house set up and all food was cooked I started to get ready :)
I got to put my 'Boss your heart' necklace on for the very first time (Thank you so much Lorraine!) And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! And it just happened to look amazing with my dress ;)
We still had a bit of time on our hands so while we finished getting ready for everyone to come we watched Dirty Dancing. It has got to be one of the most greatest movies! Love it! And Mumma LOVES Patrick! So that was alot of fun too :)
After we were ready, my sister Lana arrived! I LOVE Lana to bits! She has got to be one of the most bossy people I have ever come across but I love it!
We had a bit of a dance and then more guests started arriving!
Within a half an hour pretty much everyone was here so we played some games.
We played the clinker game, a game where you pass around a bag of clinker, take a bite and if you guess the right colour you get another turn.
The little kids really enjoyed this game but honestly for the bigger kids, after a while it got a bit boring. So we got some new games to play :)
Have you heard of the show minute to win it? Well you play all sorts of differant games and have 60 seconds to compleate each one!
It was loads of fun!!!!! So of the games were really funny to watch, there were ones were you had to put your nose in vassalene and the dip it in a cotton ball to move the ball from one place to another using your nose, it was a crack up to watch :)
After that we just talked and danced.
Then I got the computer out and we watched a slide show I made for and about Chrissie (I will try and get it up as soon as I can! I really want to share it with everyone!) Then we had a birthday cake and sang the 'happy birthday' song to Chrissie, just because she LOVES it!
Soon after that alot of people started leaving so the rest of us hit the dance floor and busted some moves ;)
I think Billy was the best dancer! He was a crack up!
Then we had a massive photo sesh (session) and took LOTS of photos! :)
There was stacks of yummy food at the party but I think EVERYONES favorite has to be Gragras cramel slice! Amazing how a half blind women can cook such amazing food!
Also, Oscar did show up today, but only for a little while, he is in alot of pain with his bottom at the moment, poor little thing! He wasn't a very happy boy!
Sarah and Beth are sleeping again tonight which is good but I think we all be in bed pretty soon after such a big day!
