Hayden's Party

Well, on Friday, the 26th we had Hayden's 16th birthday party. It was soo much fun! It actually was supposed to be a surprise (and it was) just we were late and so we missed the surprise part of it. I heard though, that Hayden turned a lovely shade of red...hmm. Anyway, when we got there, the guys were playing croquet, and all the girls were just hanging out talking.

Pretty soon after we got there, all the girls (Mandy, Kaitlyn O., Annie, Kristine, Kaitlyn B., Esther, Becca, Paige, Bailey, Laine and me) all decided to start a game of "I've Never". It was hilarious! We had so many collisions (Esther was involved in almost all of them ;).......) and we sat on each other, stepped on each other, ran into each other, all while laughing hysterically. When the boys came in from playing croquet, they were all making fun of us. We offered to let them play, but they backed off like we were crazy to even ask. They still sat and watched and laughed though...We were being pretty crazy, I guess.

Later, Hayden opened his presents, we sang "Happy Birthday" and had cupcakes, and the older guys (my dad, Dave A., Uncle Dave, Uncle Jerry maybe, I'm not sure who else) started another game of croquet. We made a bonfire and the boys put firecrackers in it which went off randomly during the first half hour or so, and scared everyone within 10 feet half to death. Also Reece tried to break a piece of wood over his forehead.

After that, Becca kept on humming Bohemian Rhapsody, so finally Annie put it on (they had an i-pod playing out in the yard). All of the older girls (well, me, Becca, Annie, Kaitlyn O. and Mandy) were all singing it. It was pretty funny. All the guys were looking at us funny, but we did it anyway. Then some other music started playing and a couple of us started doing rockstep. Then Annie and all the kids that did the line dances at the masquerade last weekend showed the rest of us how to do the first line dance. It was so much fun! Then we all started doing rockstep again. It was so much fun. After almost everyone had left, Becca and I got out a deck of cards and started playing Speed on the cement. I beat her both games (I've never done that before so it was pretty cool) and then Becca, Paige, Esther and me started a game of Nertz. That was fun too. We all cheated because it was late, and we were too tired to play right. (But we all told everyone right after we cheated) Then we had to take Becca home, and then we went home and went to bed.
