Since her birthday was on a Friday, Ginger invited a few friends over for a party from 5 to 10. Thankfully, she planned all the games and activities. I just took care of the food. She requested build your own sub sandwiches for dinner...
Then the girls split into groups and made videos that were hilarious!
Ginger also requested a chocolate chip cookie pizza topped with vanilla ice cream. (and it was pretty darn delicious if I do say so myself.)
The girls played all sorts of games and I had fun just listening to their "girl chat".
Ginger got the wii game Just Dance for her b-day and it was a big hit!
Another gift was Pictureka and they finished off the night playing that. I think the girls had a lot of fun!

Here's Ginge before her very FIRST Stake Dance! She was so excited (and a little nervous, too!) Don texted all of the Young Men to remind them that it was his daughter's first dance, to treat her like a lady when they asked her to dance AND to be sure to tell her that she "smells like rainbows". Well, several boys did just that and Ginger was so confused and a bit embarrassed until one boy finally told her that her dad had told them to say that. It definitely made for a funny, memorable night! I waited up for her to return home and she was ALL smiles telling me about every second of her first dance. One of the highlights of being a parent.
Happy Birthday, Gingey Girl! You are an amazingly, wonderful daughter and we love you so much!

Oh! That was so smart of her Daddy to give a heads up to the young men!
Happy Birthday Ginger. You have such great, loving, caring and fun parents! ;) lucky young lady.
life as we know it has changed. once these kids hit 14, everything has seemed to change - not for the worst, just different. often i say to myself, "i'm not ready for this"- yet it's coming anyway! thank goodness for amazing oldest children that help us learn for the next time/child! she's just a beauty!
I can't believe you and Don have a 14 year old! Craziness! Weren't you just living in Provo and gave birth to your first beautiful baby girl? Time flies. I love what Don said. Ginger seems like such a sweet girl.
