Party Girl

Melanie got to open presents early in the day (lucky girl!) instead of waiting 'til after dinner coffee time like everyone else.

Melanie, despite being 5, likes to color on herself occasionally!

Very pleased with the gift!!

Helping me make her birthday "cake" The cupcakes look strange, don't they! The kids didn't like them at first, but the second time they tried them there were no leftovers, and they all wanted seconds!

Adding lots of sprinkles is very important!

Melanie had one girl friend over for the day, and I took it upon myself to keep the boys from invading their girl time too much. It was challenging, but I managed it. And the girls had a lot of fun. I think I'll can big birthday bashes entirely, and just do the "one friend" thing all the time! (After all, how do I deal with bus stops not being by my place, not fitting more than one extra child in my almost full van, and timing things around school hours?) This was so much less complicated!
