gairette has never had a kids birthday party, so when we won a tour and lunch at the police station at a silent auction - we thought it was the perfect opportunity for a 1/2 birthday party!
 |
| In the garage with Office Smith - She is the community liason officer for Mundelein, so all Barb and my kids know her from school. She is terrific. |
 |
| Lifting gairette's prints from the "evidence." |
 |
| The birthday girl and Officer Smith! |
 |
 |
| They even gave us lunch - and it wasn't even Domino's! |
 |
| A serious game of hook tag - Tristan was the activities director and kept everything going smoothly outside. There are HUGE benefits to having a 13 year old daughter! No one ever talks about all the meals she makes, loads of laundry she will throw in, babysitting, and keeping a whole bunch of kids entertained... |
 |
| Cupcake decorating |
 |
| With her buddy Morgan ("Mom, I know my g's backwards - it just came out thta way.") |
 |
| Time and Barb's youngest, Delaney - just too cute. |
 |
| Some of the buddies at gift opening. One thing that is really weird out here is that kids don't open their presents at their birthday parties, which I think is a bummer, because my kids work really hard to pick just the right gift for their friends and they don't get to see them excited about it. Of course, g opened her presents with her friends; she was so excited and her friends were excited for her - just like it should be. |
 |
| Cousins! |
 |
| T and her friend erin |
 |
| Only 9 kids went to the police department , but these were all the kids who came. Perfect birthday fun! |
