The Festivities

It's been a fun birthday week for the girl, busy, but fun! Wednesday is my busiest day normally but throwing a birthday in there this week made it extra crazy. I felt like I didn't have much time with her, but she had a fun day! It started with her breakfast of choice: Blueberry Struesel Muffins and a Skype call from my parents in TX, who stayed up till 1:30am so they could call us at 7:30am.

Birthdays in 2010 require Skype. Or at least it does if you live far from family!

Her little sister was THRILLED to be up for the party. Ha!

Then it was off to school, where she took fairy cakes (small yellow cupcakes with a dollop of icing on top, no I didn't make this up, it's what they are called!) for all her classmates. Then after school it was off to kids club at church. No rest for the weary I tell you!

As soon as she was home from kids club, we ate her dinner of choice: spaghetti and chocolate cake! Then more Skype calls from Marc's parents and aunts and uncles and cousins!

Since her birthday was on a weekday and we've done the whole party thing, we decided that she could invite a few school friends over after school on Friday- so tonight three of her school friends came over for a little party. We moved our kitchen table and spread out blankets on the floor and projected a movie on the big wall while they ate popcorn and pizza! I think that was a big hit. After the movie, we had these ginormous cupcakes from Costco...I let the girls eat half and sent the other half home in their goody bag.

I won't post the pics from the party tonight, but here is one pic of the girls doing "makeup"- one of her gifts. I'll be speaking to that parent! Ha.

I'm on the couch now with my feet up while Marc watches Wales play Fiji in "the rugby." Happy Weekend!
