It was to be the first bday party where everyone (well, every girl) in her class was invited, and we wanted it to be special.
Note the alien favors and straws - courtesy largely of Lisa's expertise on Ebay.
The party started with an hour of swimming, heavily supervised by the adults.
Then it was time for a dinner of Little Caesar's pizza.
Then YaYa sat on a 'moon rock' and opened her presents, with the giver taking a seat next to her. There were a LOT of presents.
[note: parent's fave: 20Q, the handheld game of 20 questions that seems to read your mind]
Most of the girls then went home while a handful remained behind for a sleepover. Lisa gathered them up and read a science-themed space book to them about a trip to the moon. To my surprise, the girls' really liked it, participating in the telling and asking questions.
Then it was off to sleep, with Parker and I slipping home for a guys night out, er, in.
The next morning was both Lisa's and my Dad's birthdays, but as I took the family to Copper Kitchen for lunch we got word that my sister Katie had been in a car accident.
Nothing but bumps and bruises, thank God, but that ended many of our plans for the day.
All in all, I think YaYa had a great birthday party and I hope her friends enjoyed it too.
