Justin Bieber early birthday/pool party and sleepover

Melanie wanted to have a end of school/early birthday/pool party and sleepover at the end of June because she was changing school in the fall and thought this was a good way to have some old friends celebrate with her before she left them. So it was 2 months early... but we celebrated just the same. (she will be at Disney World for her b-day as you know).

Here she is ready to party with her Birthday pin and beach wear.

Ok, no, this is the most ready one could be for the party... with her surf board.

She wanted a Justin Bieber themed party, so since we couldn't have him come over we got a poster that her friends signed so that she could remember the special event.

We had to get plates and napkins, but of course!

Melanie wanted a Blizzard Cake, this almost broke the bank... but heck you only turn a 'fake eleven' years old once in your life!

The girls partied in the basement and her BFF gave her a JB book, and I had to share the photo because he looks like he's really there.

The party continued with her 2 BFF's sleeping over and then we took them for an ice cream at Lick's in Bronte. Her first time!

She spotted a bird making it's nest in a tire on the lake... quite observant!

Posing with my girls... she calls me 'Melanie's Mom', not Chantal, or Mrs. Halliday? She wants to call me that... so funny eh?

Here's my sweet husband and I hugging on the pier.

And here we are posing with our super cool daughter with her scarf!

This is my favourite shot though... it started to rain and Melanie loves umbrellas, so you bet she brought hers for this little walk, so she opened it up and the friends started to walk together... If there was ever a photo that could say 'FRIENDSHIP'... this would be it!
