Starr's 11th B-Day!

It doesn't seem like that long along ago, our little Starr was just a baby...she's grown up so quickly and is blossoming into a beautiful young lady.



This year for her birthday, she decided she wanted us to take she and 6 of her best girlfriends to the drive-in to see the newly released HANNA MONTANA MOVIE! We loaded up our van and our truck with her friends and all of our own family and ventured out on a cool rainy Saturday. Knowing earlier they had Easter festivities planned, we arrived 3 hours early and ate pizza, watched Starr open presents and then went to the main area where the theatre had FREE train rides, a jumping house, games, magician, bunny walking around, and balloons. It's like they did my party for me -- and for free! And because it was cooler than normal -- there was hardly anyone there....it was awesome!

Once the movie started, we filled the back of the truck with blankets and sleeping bags and let the girls have that area while my family took the van. Every time Hanna Montana would start singing, they would get up and start dancing....so cute. What a fun age! Starr said it was her 'best birthday ever'!

The group of girls eating pizza...

Starr really really wanted a Yo Gabba Gabba Cake (go figure....)
She's a happy girl!
Getting ready to open presents....
Yes! Yo Gabba Gabba toys!!!

Now to play.....rides on the train were first on the list....however, they rode over and over and over again! The Easter Bunny rode with the girls most of the time.

I had to FORCE Starr to pose with him -- she tried to avoid him most of the time.
Steve's having way too much fun! What a good sport!

The girls settled in the back of the truck getting ready to watch the movie!

Starr is such a cutie, her baby pic looks just like her! What a fun birthday, I really enjoyed the picture towards the end showing how "thrilled" the boys were to be at a Hanna Montana movie, lol!

Yes, the movie was VERY CLEAN...SQUEEKY in fact. Stacey, thanks for the compliments about the cake -- it got pretty beat up on the way to the theatre...but Starr was happy.
And my boys tolerated it -- the only way I could get Jeff there was to tell him that's where the food was, so if he wanted to eat he had to go.

Just found out Yo Gabba Gabba was made by two mormon dudes who happen to be dads and former missionaries. Pretty cool.
