Party #1


On the official birthday we had family over for supper but we missed Shirley so we're giving her a rain cheque! Shirley, the girls brought your invitation to church last week but we realized you were out of town when they got your cards in the mail. I saw you this morning though so I know you're back!

The girls had two sets of grandparents waiting when they got home from school and were happy to see everyone! I was still working on dinner prep, cake decorating and who knows what else so I'm glad someone remembered to get my kids off the bus!
I spent all of Thursday & Friday getting ready, cleaning house and made remarkable progress. My mum walked in and immediately said "hey! where's all your junk???"

We gave the girls a heads up. I told them there was good news and bad news. The bad news was that we'd only bought one present for all 3 of them. The good news was that it was so big, it couldn't fit in the house. Then we let them take some guesses. Honey wondered if getting the deck fixed was it. I told her she'd guessed it and they thought that was ok. not awesome but ok. (if only we'd known!!!!!!) Then we told them we were kidding, the deck repairs weren't their present. They couldn't think of much else so we took them outside so they could see for themselves. Their faces were full of smiles when they saw the trampoline in the yard!

They all bounced around for awhile and for the initial run, we let them all go in together. It was too hard to decide who could be first so we took a chance on the concussions. It was quite a hot day so they didn't last long before needing a break and a drink so they came back in and we started supper. Honey was verrrrrrrrrrry anxious to get down to business and came into the kitchen every 5 minutes asking "is it present time YET???????????" Finally I told her she'd missed it. ;P

and then it was time to dig in and boy they didn't waste any time getting at the goods!

I thought I'd make it easy on myself for this party & pre-made all the flowers ahead of time so all I had to do was frost & plunk. Pretty slick huh?


Lucky for us, Lady Gaga's mother was in town and came to the party!
They all got some Zhu Zhu pets and are now ZZ crazy! They're pretty cute little things and make all sorts of adorable squeals and gurgles and zip around on their own. If you're in need of a gift for a little girl, these are the way to their heart!
or a Nintendo DS wouldn't be a bad move either! They've had their little eyes trained on a screen or a pet since this party!
More zz accessories!

Thank you to all our special guests for making their birthday so much fun. These girls are loved and spoiled but it's not all our fault, at least we can hold you guys equally responsible!
