Lydia's birthday party was today. She wanted a Princess and the Frog party and I am a little anti-princess as you all know. Lydia also wanted to invite 1 girl and 5 boys. I wasn't so sure they would be down with the idea of a princess party. I do however like the message from Princess and the Frog; Work hard because you can't wish upon a star to get what you want. Tiana was working hard to become a chef and own her own restaurant. Presto! We have a cooking party!
Lydia had invites tied to spoons with a "Recipe for a Birthday Bash". We started by decorating aprons and playing with marshmallow and sunflower butter play doughs. The kids then made individual pan pizza and fruit pizza. We were supposed to make home made ice cream and lemonade, but they wanted to jump on the trampoline. We sent home "recipe book" and aprons for party favors. The girl's books were even Princess and the Frog! Lydia had a very special day!
Her favorite gift was Cecelia's Lady Bug of course! I went upstairs that night and she had pulled it onto her bed and fallen asleep on it. So sweet!
Oh and Murphy's Law AGAIN! I asked Lydia what she wanted for her birthday a few weeks ago. She wanted a digital camera and to buy ice cream from the ice cream truck. My response was that she could have ice cream the next time the truck came by. Um, well, ya the truck came in the middle of the birthday party! We of course bought it for all! And by the way the ice cream truck in the county is no Mr. Softee! You can even put your own syrup on your shaved ice :)!
