The girls were split into 2 groups of 4. I was the leader of the pink group and my good friend, Kristin, was the leader of the blue group. Once we pulled up to the mall, they were given their 1st clue. The blue group was led to Borders to look for 'A Familiar Face' where one of the girls mom's was waiting. Jen was this familiar face and handed them their 2nd clue.
Each team was basically led to the same stores, just in a different order. At Claire's, they received their 'Goody Bags' that I had bought and had them hold behind the counter until the girls came in and found an eye mask. They could then receive their goody bag and their next clue. All of the stores that helped take part in the hunt were more then willing to help out.
The girls also were led to Mrs Field's where they got their prepaid treat...a cookie of their choice. Here are the members of the pink team with Jen...who was our 'familiar face' in Borders.
The pink team then thought they needed to stop for a few camera shots directed toward the birthday girl.
The blue team stopped to show off their new sparkly lips!
The girls on the pink team caught up with the Limo driver, Fernando, cruising around the mall.
On the way home, they were all sporting their new hats and having a blast in the Limo.
Once we got home, it was time for cupcakes and ice cream....not to mention a serenade of 'Happy Birthday' to Natalie.
The girls decided that they needed to toast to Natalie entering the 'double digits'.
They got ready for bed.......
The next morning, Megan was my helper making French Toast.
and Natalie felt like a STAR! : ) Thank you SO much to Karen, Jen and Kristin for helping out with Natalie's party and making it so special!
