Riley's Pink Pig Pottery Party

Riley celebrated her birthday with friends back in May (before school was out). She decided she wanted to have a sleepover with some of her girlfriends. Beforehand, most of the girls who were spending the night met up at Into The Fire, which is one of those paint-your-own pottery places in Johnson City. The party's theme was pink pigs--and each guest got a piggy bank to paint as her party favor.

Sweet sisters


The party girls had an area of the studio all to themselves.


Kate went to the balloon store with Aunt Robin before the party started. She fell asleep in the car--look at that paci!


Check out these adorable piggie cupcakes--a talented friend from high school made them. They sure were tasty, too!


Getting ready for the guests ...


All set up and ready to be eaten ...

Abigail and Uncle Johnny (A-C was sick that day. :o()


I wasn't sure if Kate would be interested in the pottery-painting thing. Well, she LOVED it. Didn't want to stop painting. At all. There may have been a scene when she had to put the paint away ...


There's no way she was going to stop painting long enough to look at the camera ...


Her finished product--it turned out really cute, despite about 374 layers of paint! LOL! All the pigs were left at the store to be fired, and then we got ours from Aunt Robin a few weeks later. I should take a photo of it in its finished glory. :o) (Don't hold your breath, though. hahaha)


Time to eat! The party was in between school and dinner time, so it was just snacks. The girls had pizza for dinner at the sleepover.


Rebekah worked hard to fill this poster with drawings of some of Riley's favorite things.


Riley got a giant blabla monkey from her Mom and Dado.


Silly Bandz made an appearance as well! What a fun party!
