I know many do not comprehend why birthday parties are so important or needed. I go through my moments when I think, “we are keeping it small this year”… after six parties… I am still waiting for the “small” one. You see, when you have a family the size of mine – it will never be small. Ever. But, you know what? All that means is that the LOVE is big too. So it is always wonderful in the end.
Every year I search everywhere and ANYWHERE for the cute ideas, the “different” ideas… I have this thing about not wanting to be like everyone else… it’s just in me. I think I’ve done pretty good with her party ideas…
1st year: A Disney Luau
2nd year: Let’s FISH with Mickey
3rd year: The Wonderful World of Disney
4th year: Lilo & Stitch
5th year: Minnie/Zebra with a candy buffet (favorite)
6th year….. We got a bit TANGLED!
Are we noticing the Disney trend here? Yeah… we are obsessed. It’s a Disney thing. 😉
We had an amazing cake made by Sarah:
Sarah also made us the most adorable and great tasting cookies- shaped as popcicles to match the “pool” theme that went along with the Tangled theme… {I told you- I like to do things DIFFERENTLY- ;-)}
We also had some “cool gumball” milkshakes…. {and rootbeer floats that grandma insisted on}…
It was a fun party… it turned out perfect. School friends, cousins… what else could we ask for?
I got to celebrate my gift… my blessing… the best thing that God has ever trusted me with…
How could THAT not be BIG?
Oh, and the ideas going through my head for next year… watch out! It’s on!
I will always celebrate the day that I became….
