I did this party for my 10th birthday, but i think it would work for older kids too. My mom and I picked up two of my friends at 8:30 and took us to Hood River, where we took the Chirstmas Train to a small town called Parkwood. In Parkwood it is really snowy, so my friends and i spent forever playing in the snow. We took the train back and then went to my house where we spent the night. We had dinner (pasta and a salad bar) and then we had a make-your-own-sundae bar. After that we hung out and talked. It was so much fun!!! I hope this idea has helped you! ~Mary~
