What do you do for four girls who have birthdays that are always over shadowed by Christmas? Well, you throw them a HUGE Surprise party, inviting all their friends, to welcome them to the "teenage years". Good friends Maddie Mc Linden, Grace Bova, Catherine Garrity, and Kelly Snyder all turn(ed) 13 within a month of Christmas. So the parents of the girls got together and planned the surprise party of the year! Most of St. Thomas Moore School was there, dancing to the music and enjoying pizza and cake. The limbo was a BIG HIT and the night was full of requested songs, some with dedications! Little Patrick really tore up the dance floor, as you can see in one of the videos below. The icy weather outside didn't stop the party inside from being a big success. Another really cool thing the parents planned, in lieu of presents, they asked guests to bring money that the girls would donate to a charity of their choice. At the end of the night, the girls counted up the money and raised $870.00 for a great cause!
**UPDATE** The girls decided to donate the money the raised to Angel 34, which is a local organization that provides services & support for children battling cancer. GREAT JOB GIRLS!
