Well...we're finally done with Emily's birthday celebrations...she turned 5 and had 4 parties. i'd say she made out pretty well...
instead of doing the typical have-everyone-at-an-indoor-playground party, the husband and i dared to shake things up a bit. we had it at home! with all girls (25!)! in costumes! and gave out goldfish as lootbags!
it was actually a VERY cute idea. we bought small glass bowls and crayola window writing paints. the girls decorated their fish bowls, and got a fish, some food and some pebbles to take home with them. they all had a blast.
then we had princess pizza, princess chips, princess pop, and princess cake. i'm all princessed out.
unfortunately, we were left with 5 fish at the end of the party, and we've already had 2 casualties. i hope the other kids have better luck with their lootbags...or we're going to have some very angry princesses on our hands...
