Frances's Early 9th Birthday Party

For Frances's birthday, my parents won at an auction a box at the Thorns Game for 20 of her friends, with Thorns Scarfs and catering. The game was in early May, so we made it an early birthday celebration. For the first time in her life, she invited girls to her birthday party.... her whole entire soccer team....and everyone replied yes. So, it was 14 girls, Maggie and three of Henry's friends. It was SO much fun. They were so excited and it was so much fun to see her with her tribe of girlfriends who also love sports. They even made it on to the big screen! Mark and I also determined that girls are MUCH louder at parties than boys...wow. Maggie loved being in the thick of all the girls....and on stage with Henry's friends.... again... lord help us. On the way home, Frances called my parents and said thank you for the best night of her life. So sweet.
