Whew! I survived it!

[Left Is Write]

I survived the invasion of the squealing five-year-old girls for my daughter's birthday party this afternoon.

Happy girls have left with their goodie bags, mess is cleaned up, and I'm breathing a sigh of relief.

1. Good for you!

How many did you have? And did your daughter have fun? (Happy Birthday to her!) :party:

3. We had seven little girls, including my daughter, plus my

three-year-old son, who had to get in on the festivities. I did have fun. One of my friends was here too with her two girls and she stayed for the whole party, as did my husband and my teenage daughter and a friend of hers.

It was easier than I thought it would be, everyone got along, and nobody got bored or cried. And for that, thank goodness! :)

Jane's birthday was actually Dec 28, but lots of her friends were away for Christmas vacation, so that's why we did the party later.

4. Mine is Dec. 27 - we used to celebrate it before Christmas

Good for you for having a party for her at a time when her friends could all make it. :hi:

2. I bet you had the best time of any of them...squealing five year olds

can't get happier than that...the only way it would have been better is if it happened on the 20th of January as a distraction! Congrats for your survival and I know you had fun! :D

5. Oh, hey! That would have been a good idea.

I needed some distraction that gloomy day.

Yes, the squealing was indicative of a good time had by all, so I'm grateful. I'm also grateful birthdays are a once-a-year deal. ;)

7. She did. She's been so excited she was bouncing off the walls!

She told EVERYONE at the grocery store this morning that she was having a party. She wanted the world to come and eat cake and ice cream with her!

9. Little kid birthday parties

are so much fun!

My favorite was when my oldest (who's now 22) turned 6. I had six or seven of his friends over, plus his younger brother who was two. We played some games like pin the tail on the donkey. I had them do a treasure hunt, with very easy clues, a pinata, then cake and ice-cream.

I also used to do birthday parties at the local skating rink for the younger one, which was also fun.
