Rheanna's 9th Birthday Party!!

This year for Rheannas Birthday Party, she wanted to have her party at home! Her explanation of why she wanted to have her party at home: "Kimmie, I want to have my party here [home] this year." Me: "Any reason why?" Rhea: "Well if we have it here we don't have to spend any money!" Then Jacob chimes in: "Well, you could have a Bowling Party! Or Skating!" Rhea: "NO!! We will have to spend money if we do that! Gosh Jacob!" ......They sat there debating back and forth for a second. I sat back and listened to both of their points. Although I was definitely on Rheannas side! LOL! It was finally decided we were having her Party at the house! Rheanna had it set in her mind that she was having her party at the house, and no one was going to change her mind! .............I guess all my preaching on bargain shopping was actually working!! Who would have knew!! (Every time we got to the store, no matter what it is for, I always bargain shop! And I have always been teaching the kids this as well. For instance, Rhea needed some head bands for school. She had picked out some at Claires. It was 2 of them for $5. But if we got them from Target she could get 5 headbands for $3.97. Which is the better deal? You guessed it! To Target we went. She has caught on really well and always looks at the prices now. She does pretty good in the grocery store to!) Ok, enough rambling about that!!!
We had her Birthday party at our house on the Saturday before her actually birthday! We had a great turn out!! All our friends and family came! She even got a special phone call from Grandpa Jerry! He called and had to wish his Princess Happy Birthday! It is always nice to hear from him and Jane! Hopefully we will get to visit them soon!  Rhea had loads of fun! And said it was the best Birthday EVER!!
Mo and So helped out of course, as always! Mo made the Brisket and SoSo made Rheannas 'cake'( peanut butter rice krispies, one of my favorites) She got lots of great gifts and we were happy that everyone came out to celebrate!!
