Paaaaaartttttyyyyyy!

Just like last year, we combined the girl's birthday party since Sydney's is in August and Lizzy's is in September!  What this means for us is: one party, one set of goodie bags, one party fee, one food order, and most importantly....ONE set of thank you notes to be written (it's now been a month and I have not written them quite yet...it's not my favorite thing to do, but it needs to be done)!

This year the party was at Farmington Gymnastics.  All of the kids had a blast and I like that the party room is huge and that the gym is spacious; that way the party didn't seem like mass chaos.  There were two coaches and one coach took the younger kids and the other one took the older kids and it actually worked our perfectly!  So, another successful party in the books!  As we did last year, we gave out CD's as part of the party favors.  We have the kids sit down and tell us their favorite songs.  It always seems to be a big hit.  And although I put the kid's names next to the songs that they picked, it was very clear which songs were Sydney's and which one's were Lizzy's.  Sydney's songs were all Glee, Selena Gomez, etc. (all grown up).  I wonder what will end up on next year's list.  Every year, Sydney just seems SO much older, yet she's only in Kindergarten....well, at the time of the party she was not in Kindergarten yet...I'm still trying to catch up on this darn blog.  I knew I created a monster when I started.  But the kids will enjoy reading it when they are
older!





Anyway...great party...and now I have another year to figure out the next party!  Now I can sit back, relax, and be the guest at everyone else's parties (that way THEY have to write the thank you notes).
