Last weekend I had the chance to go to our four-year-old goddaughter's birthday party. (We have been referred to as her "dogparents" but that's a tale (tail) for another time.) It had been a long time since I was at a four-year-old's party. I had forgotten how much fun they are!
Older sisters are a great ingredient for birthday parties. (You can see that I was not the only one with my camera out.)
The Planning List is also essential. In case you wonder why "Put together yellow brick road" is a task, this was a Wizard of Oz party and the birthday girl got to dress as Dorothy.
Of course another essential ingredient is a bunch of kids, all having a great time! This was a particularly wonderfully sweet and cooperative group, even though many had never met the others before.
My artistic talents were pushed to the brink -- I had agreed to make "Pin The Heart On the Tin Woodsman" (who in this household is, for reasons I never learned, referred to as "The Tin Woman").
I don't think glow sticks existed when I was a child. Certainly glow-stick-glasses didn't exist when our children were four. The world has been much improved.
Amy made a brilliant pinata (The Cowardly Lion, in case you weren't sure).
Other ingredients included doting parents and grandmothers. And what would a birthday be without the cake?? Great fun. I'm ready for the next birthday party!!
