While Chloe was out of the house, Cora and I decorated the front walk:
And the living room (in an attempt to make it look more festive, since we're moving and every room looks naked right now, save for boxes in every corner.)
With Grammy's help, we made the cake:
And then waited for the birthday girl and her guests to arrive. They were all pretty excited.
Littlest One was excited too.
She enjoyed the first half of the party before going to Grammy's house to spend the night.
We had dinner, then cake and ice cream...
with confetti poppers, because they're just so much fun.
And then opened presents.
Yes, she's hugging a lava lamp.
There was some craziness with balloons..
And then they all got to decorate their own pillowcase with fabric markers.
And since no party at our house is complete without some kind of paint, we did handprints on the backs of the pillowcases.
There were horse-head shaped cookies to decorate,
and a wild game of Twister Hoopla, one of the gifts she received from her friends.
Then we settled down with lights off, and some glow-sticks to keep the fun going a bit longer.
Sleep finally came around 1:00... it was a long, long night. But we survived. :o)Homemade fried donuts and fruit for breakfast
and then they settled in making beaded bracelets until the mamas came to pick them up.
Overall, it was a really great party! Chloe declared it "The Best Birthday Ever", though I think she's said that about every birthday she's had. But anyhow, I'd call it a success.Happy Birthday, my sweet Chloe! So glad you had a great time!
