The Kidlet Party. 16 little ones of all ages. 10 A.M. Double Chocolate Cake. Presents galore.Yep. The reason why we didn't do it at OUR house. :) I've mentioned a Children's Museum we have in a neighboring town. Well, we booked the room and let them go *crazy*!!
It wasn't even cake time yet. They were just jockeying for position. ;)
The Lovely Maddie... Her mom joked about how little girls become so shy and coy when they get dressed up. They'll just stand there, waiting for the adoration of their beauty to come forth.
As the Hawaiian Hula Clown Girl is doing here. Did I mention they had a mirror with face paint?!!
Raegan was content to just sit and watch. For now.
I love this picture. I can imagine, years from now, us getting the same type of shot. As these girls all get ready for the prom. ;) Of course, I'm doubting they'll be painting their noses red then.
... Or using make-up that comes in these assortment of colors. :)
Don't you just love the intense look of concentration on Laurianna's face? Shhh...she's creating a masterpiece.
Though not all of our girls were content to dress up as princesses. Jessica was preparing to do battle!! You go girl!
And for now, Raegan just sat and laughed at them all.It was during the Present Opening Frenzy that I saw a different side of my budding beauty, Charis. She's opening present after amazing present...to which I'm having to remind my usually polite child to say thank you...when she looks up and motions to the next person, armed with a gift bag.
"You can come next."
It so sounded like "Ah yes, pheasant girl. You now have my permission to approach the royal throne and grace me with your gift."
My mouth literally dropped open, I was so appalled. All the other parents in the room just laughed. Encouraging me with "they all do it", "it's just a phase", "it's not like we adults don't think that!". Hee hee, thanks guys!
The kids...they were totally unfazed by Charis's attitude. Apparently it's expected par for the course. For the little girl, armed with a present, happily obliged. And approached the Queen Majesty.
Kid parties. They are designed to bless the child. Humble the parent.

Oh, how fun! That was one BIG party!! I could see how "Thank you's" were overlooked. I can only imagine the present table at that party! I'm pretty sure I was like that when I was opening wedding gifts "ooh, pretty! What's next?!" To make up for the lack of thank yous at the party just have her help you with the thank you cards that you send out. All will be well with the world once again. :)
