Hannah's Sweeney 16 Birthday Party

To know Hannah is to know that her absolute favorite movie right now is 'Sweeney Todd'. Last year for her birthday I took her to the actual play. This year she asked for her 16Th Birthday party to be a Sweeney Todd themed party. And for her gift she asked for a Mrs Lovett costume. And I had planned a Ghost Tour activity for her and her friends. So as the planning went on we decided to combine her costume with her party and have everyone go to the ghost tour in a Sweeney Todd costume!!

Well to make a long very heart breaking (for Hannah) story short when her Mrs Lovett costume arrived it fell apart within minutes. And it was not cheap. So it had to go back and we settled on Vampires! Her second favorite thing. But that isn't going to stop us from calling it a Sweeney 16 party.

Jason's fabulous birthday banner!

One of the only shots of Cameron. Needless to say he wasn't coming with us on a ghost tour in downtown Charleston. Our friend Mike Buytas was kind enough to watch him and let him play with his Lego's which now we have an addict but that is for a whole other blog!!

The girls getting into their costumes!

My friend Ali doing the vampire make-up!

Pretty yet , of course, scary!

The dining room! Hannah was allowed to pick out what the girls would have for dinner. Potato salad, mashed potatoes and hash brown casserole!! lol I threw hot dogs in for good measure!!

The girls decked out and ready to go!! Except for Josie who is proving a point. The point? Oh heck I don't know! She is 13!! I am sure I was making the same point when I was her age!

Downtown waiting for our tour to start. I just thought the light post was a good photo prop!!

Oh she was having an absolute blast!

Our tour guide! He was quite humored by the gaggle of 'Vampires'!

ooooh I wonder what is down this dark a dreary alley!!!

Waiting to go inside the dungeon.

We are actually in a dungeon in a building that is pretty old. I shall leave a link for you to click on if you are interested.

The birthday revelers so very tired!!

I also had some of my girls there with me enjoying the night!!

And out 'family' picture that doesn't feel right at all without our little man!

Back at the house for CAKE!!!

After the cake the girls got into PJ's and went into the living room for a midnight showing of Hannah's Sweeney Todd movie. Which form what I hear most of them didn't even make it through the first 15 minutes!

Surely this will be a 16Th Birthday party Hannah will always remember :D
