Another birthday party has come and gone. This time is was JP’s 6th birthday party. My little cuddly, quietly pensive but sensitive boy is a whole 6 years old. I love that he still loves to climb into my lap and let me squish him but there have been days lately when he has decided to remind me how big he really is.
Every boy was given a burlap vest, sash and eye patch to wear. The girls received a burlap vest, black and white corsage and an eye patch with a little bling on it.
I am pretty happy with his cake, of course I see all the wrongs in it but mostly I am pleased. I have stated in previous party posts how unhappy I usually am with the quality of cake that my kids usually get since I also have to put together the party and can’t just “do the cake”. I will be adding this one to my portfolio and hope to make it again in the future.
We ended up with a little over 80 guests and half way through the party the heavens opened and the great deluge fell upon us. The rain was so hard (the whole afternoon) that it forced the party inside and every square inch of my house was stuffed with party goers. Among the casualties were my musical islands (my pirate take on musical chairs), a game of walk the plank in the barn and of course what kind of party would I have planned if it did not include a treasure hunt. All told it turned out to be a fun and not soon to be forgotten party.
