Birthday parties are fun

Grace had her "Pucca" birthday party this weekend. Don't know what Pucca is? Well, you can check her out here and here. Once again my child had chosen a theme not readily available for a party, so I had stocked up on Chinese New Year decorations and hand made the rest. And the addition of the generic bounce house just tied it all together. It was insanely humid, but for the third year in a row the rain didn't arrive until the party had ended.


I have to show off my Pucca cake. I made it by looking at a picture printed off the internet, and considering my lack of experience with cake decorating I think I did a darn good job with it! Her pigtails were two Ding Dongs. Grace and Alex had never tasted Ding Dongs until they ate these, and of course LOVED them (who wouldn't?!).


Even with the good camera it is really tough to get a good photo of kids in a bounce house.




Luckily younger brother Kenny stuck around so Alex had a friend to play with during the party.


Everyone loves the Twizzler.


Gabriel seemed to not care (or even notice?) that a bunch of 6-year olds were crawling all over the car.


Waiting to play "Pin the Heart on Garu."


The rest of the waiting line. Notice how sweaty everyone is after all the bouncing. Now you can just imagine what my bandana felt like after wrapping around those thirteen heads. Yuk.

The Four Musketeers. It will be really sad if these girls aren't in the same first grade class next year.

Well, we certainly had a blast. I am admiring your party planning skills more and more, and hope you will be available for consultation when I have to start planning big kid parties!

That is because we were not.
