Birthday Parties

Liz's birthday parties were a huge success.  Three little girls from her class and two friends of the family came to the first party.  It lasted just over an hour and a half, which by the way is just enough time to get everything done.  Liz handled it like a trooper, and except for a fifteen minute period where she went non-verbal, she did very well.  They played in her room, and I discovered bunk beds are a huge source of excitement to little girls.  Every time I went in there, three of them were on the top bunk.  It was cute.

They made tiaras, which was awesome.  I totally am patting myself on the back for thinking of that.  Target is the source of all cool birthday party things.  We were also going to do manicures, but it didn't work out.  After that, we did the pinata, and had pizza and cake.

Every single little girl got her Zoobles.  Zoobles are Liz's new favorite toy.  She has been lobbying for them every time we enter a store that sells toys.  Yesterday, her dreams were fulfilled.  She was so excited.

The second party was meant for the adults in Lizzie's life that wanted to celebrate with her.  About ten people came, and hung around for about an hour and a half.  That was just enough time, and you could tell Liz really felt comfortable.  I'm so thrilled that so many people love her so much that they wanted to spend her special day with her. :-) 

Next year, only one party.  I AM SO EXHAUSTED TODAY!!!!!!  Liz is still happy, though, which is really all the matters. 

Yay for a great birthday party experience!!!
