I scream, you scream

Today was Big A's birthday party celebration, and it turned out to be a great one. It was her first "friends" party so we decided it was a good idea to have it somewhere else. Call me crazy, but the idea of 16 4-year-olds at my house scared me...a lot.

We chose a sweet little local ice-cream shop. They made it so effortless for me. The kids ate pizza, played candy bingo, ate the ice-cream of their choice and then made candy necklaces. They even provided the goody bags. Done and done.

Big A was looking forward to her party all week and I think she had a great time. She wasn't too outgoing, but she also wasn't too shy, so I'll call it a success. She especially enjoyed making her candy necklace and sat for a very long time making it. In fact, she is currently sitting on her chair "sneaking" bites of candy. I'm giving her a pass today in honor of "birthday week."

Little A also had a good time. As usual, she spent most of the time eating...girl loves to eat. She impressed me with how much of a big girl she was, sitting right in the midst of all the 4-year-olds.

Another year come and gone. Now I'm gearing up for Little A's big 0-2 in just a few months. If only birthdays were this much fun forever.

And of course, a few pictures from the party...
