Her checklist:
Wear dress-up dresses.
Eat tiny sandwiches and fruit.
Use tea cups.
Make parasols and top hats. (By this time, LL was partied out. I've now discovered that parties should be held in the morning.)
Open presents.
The "servers". AM invited a friend over to serve the guests. They dressed up, too, and had lots of fun!A mother of one of the party-goers offered to stay and help. I couldn't have done it without her. In fact, I would have convinced LL to have her party away from the home if it wasn't for my friend "walking" me through the planning and carrying-out. Having a group of kids over for a couple hours shouldn't be that stressful, but it always is for me. I have other strengths, right? Thank you, Marcia!
And, then we had a family party after her requested meal of macaroni and cheese. Gourmet tastes, I know! If you'd like to click on the picture to enlarge it and admire the cake, I wouldn't mind. hee hee

Hi Julie. Great job on the party. It looks so fun. I love the parasols. Is that just poster paper or something else. They were so cute. And yes, adorable cake. It looks yummy. That is a cute picture with you and the girls. By the way, thanks for such a sweet compliment on Jayden's Bear post but it must be just the camera angle or lighting or something because in actuality I am heavier now than I have ever been not being pregnant. Its a very depressing thing and I am very uncomfortable right now. I was uncomfortable standing in front of everyone that night. Hopefully I can do something about it.
I love the cheesy grin on her face! Looks like she had a great time. Good job handling the party. I am grateful that Lexi's bday is in the summer and I can send everyone outside. Shawn's, on the other hand, stress me out with all those little boys cooped up inside. What we won't do for our kids, right?
Good job, Mom.
The parasols were just made out of poster board. Easy schmeezy!
I LOVE the cake . . . and don't be surprised if you get bit by the birthday bug! I love throwing birthday parties, especially princess/dress up parties! And, oh how I miss my favorite helper, Marcia! Looks like an amazingly fun party for an amazing little girl!
