Early Party!!!

I'm sure many of you know a certain special someone has a birthday in our house this week!!! The excitement around here has been building and when they found out I had to be away on the actual date of said birthday, the girls were distraught and crying and the disappointment was crushing. I suggested we celebrate early and have the party tonight so we could all do it together! That appeased them and they got busy making up the invitations!

I did the baking this afternoon and prepped the meal. When the girls got home they whipped through their homework and started decorating. Sweetie spelled out a special happy birthday message with yummy snacks on a cookie sheet! They got out & hung up the happy birthday sign and even blew up a bunch of balloons for their planned photo op with the guest of honour!

Needless to say the preparations were exciting and happy! Birthdaying is big business at our house and one we take very seriously. You will no doubt want to pass on some birthday greetings yourself after reading this, in case you forgot it was coming up so soon!

It was a great party! The snacks got gobbled up, the dessert was delicious and everyone enjoyed every bite! One guest even licked their plate clean! A sure sign of success right?

So although it wasn't the actual birthday, it was enjoyed nonetheless!
