My girls had such wonderful parties. I really try and put together wonderful events so that they'll have fond memories. It worked. All 3 of them had a great time and I have pictures to prove it!
Shayna took 13 friends to see FAME and then dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. Here's part of her thank you card that I'm sending out:
For the twins, we had a backyard party with a jump house and Princess Belle. We've been watching Cake Boss on TLC so the kids REALLY wanted to make the twins birthday cakes. It took 8 hours total (with lots of errands and trips to and from school in between). I doubt that I'll do it again but I think that their "princess tiara" cakes turned out pretty darn cute. Especially since it's the first decorated cakes that I've ever made. Here's part of their thank you card that I'm sending out:
I'm almost done with thank you cards. My husband's birthday is tomorrow so we'll be making our 5th trip to Disneyland in 2 weeks and then I'm done with birthdays. I get a lot of joy from them but they also wipe me out! I love looking back at the pictures. That's my reward. It's a good one!

Wow! You sure do go all out! The parties looked awesome! I LOVE the thank you notes. Do you make them yourself?

Looks like the parties were wonderful. I am going to Disneyland on Saturday for my birthday!
Great parties......and I love your blog.....
I have just found your blog from a post you had written on pooh's corner blog. You mentioned building up new friendships since your son had died. I just wanted to tell you that i understand that, i lost my precious daughter Livvy in November last year and many of my friends have disappeared. Its been so hard letting go of the hurt. I pray for brighter days for both of us. Im looking forward to reading more of your blog. xxx
Will you be my mom? Ok, so I am 41 and I think you are about the same age...........but you are so FUN!
Ok I know that's silly.............so I will just take a minute to say I'm glad we're friends..........even if it's in blog land. hehe
