Vanessa's Birthday party


TWO hours before Vanessa's birthday party, she decided to really "horse around" in the shower and fell on the porcelain tub and split open her chin!!! There was NO DOUBT that Nessa needed stitches!!! Even though it was bad timing, I was really amazed at how well I handled the situation without Dave around!!! In fact, Vanessa was the one who was "freaking out"!!! I called Dave (he was doing errands for the party) to come and get Vanessa to go get her stitches. He later told me that when it was time for the Doctor to sew her chin up that Vanessa started freaking out even more so they had to wrap her up like a "MUMMY" in order to keep her from moving!!! Vanessa received 5 stitches! But after she was sewn up, Vanessa let us know that it really didn't hurt after all!!! LOL

Vanessa arrived at her party a few minutes before all her friends showed up, we were very lucky that she was able to get taken care of so quickly at the Insta-care. I was very lucky that I had almost everything ready for the party the night before!

We had PIZZA, cake and Ice-cream. We had a huge surprise for Vanessa and her friends and some family!!! (We tried to make the party more of a friend party for Vanessa) We had a REAL mini-horse and eight other animals show up in our backyard for some REAL horsing-around!!!! We LOVED our experience with "Wild Things".

Thank you to all those who gave Vanessa gifts, she was definitely spoiled!

Wow, what a party. Nolan split his chin in Blanding. That same doc had sewn up Will's chin years ago. I'm glad the made it to that awesome party!

How sad that she split her chin open before her birthday party. I did it in Middle School on New Years Eve on some black ice and had 5 stiches too. It hurt! Poor Vanessa, but what a cool party to take her mind off of it. I bet she just loved it, and I am sure you will be famous for that party for years to come:) It looks like tons of fun!
