eight years old, and no pinata

Last week, Lauren & I worked together to make birthday invitations for the 13 girls in her class. Then we planned the party: bake cookies, make marbleized paper, decorate bags to take their cookies & paper home in, and finish with pink punch and birthday cake. Oh, and of course... the presents!

So we went shopping and got ready for the party. I baked a cake and set out the cookie and craft supplies and braced myself for a full house! Tuesday after school, they all walked home together and arrived ready to party. I never did get a chance to count, but no one was missing so it must have been 14, including Lauren. I think they all had a good time. I may have been a little tired when it was all over.

For future reference, I do not need to plan so many activities: a giggle of girls can keep themselves entertained quite well when there's cake and presents around!

So glad your kids have quickly made friends. That is the hardest part of the life of an MK.
