Tim Gunn would be proud.

The eight-year-olds turned nine this week and Liberty had a Project Runway birthday party!

The Challenge: to create a fashionable evening look using Old Navy pajama pants and a plain white t-shirt.

The contestants rose to the occasion and we saw some serious and thoughtful design from these aspiring designers!

The models had their makeup done by our resident glam guru, Paris. Then the fashion show and judging were followed by a pizza and Baskin Robbins ice cream cake.

We also celebrated the birthdays with an immediate-family-only outing to Sky High, a warehouse with a trampoline-lined floor. You can bounce off the floor and walls, and even play games like dodge ball and jump into a foam pit. This was a blast even for me and Dave. Of course his uterus didn't feel like it was going to fall out.

From there we had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen with my MIL and the cousins. And then Liberty tried to stay up until 11:46p so she could gloat to her sister that she was older. No such luck. Maybe next year.

Happy Birthday Girls! Sounds like a blast was had!

Not sure my body could handle the trampolines either ;)
