Sweet 16 Party...

.....
The party has been had and everything went really well.

The backyard was lit up with tea lights everywhere including the milk container ones that all the lovely scrapbooking ladies helped with by donating their empties. We had the bamboo flame thingies (like in survivor) up one end of the yard and tea light lanterns hanging all around the pergola. All the electric lights were turned off, a gas heater under the pergola and a fire pit which the kids kept fired up all night meant we had a really pretty setting.

The kids were great - we had 24 turn up and they danced, melted marshmallows over the fire and generally had a good time.

Having a fire pit we wondered if they would be sensible with it - the worst that happened was a couple of them burnt a spring roll till it was black and then dared one of the boys to eat it and he did!!

I wasn't able to take as many photos as I have at past parties because being 16 they didn't want me hanging around too much and I respected the fact that they didn't need a flash in their faces (I know - it was really hard!!) but will post them as soon as I download them in the next day or so.
