Not to mention, she brought up inviting a boy! We had 4-5 girls last year and nothing went as planned. We served pizza for lunch, but I had create your own sticker scenes for a craft, and none of them were interested. They were more interested in rummaging thru Ally's toys and playing. I'm not sure how I'll handle it this year..sigh. I do love the idea of the video and dancing. One thing the girls did enjoy was that I made cupcakes and left them unfrosted. Then I gave each girl a small bowl of white frosting, and allowed her to pick what color she wanted--then I dyed it with food coloring. Then I had sprinkles and candy for them to top them with. That was probably the best part of the party! :) Could you find enough safe treats to do that?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02203641619686737397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-69751327276236355062011-11-20T23:33:55.107-05:002011-11-20T23:33:55.107-05:00This sounds like a GREAT party.

Though I have a feeling it would turn into a wrestling/ boxing match with Cal & his friends.<br /><br />Hosting friend birthday parties actually scares the dickens out of me. We're hosting our first on Dec. 10. But we're cheating and having it at the Y.

With Colin's b-day situated the way it is... we're going to try one in January. I like your 2-hours with food idea. We don't have a lot of toys at our house and I worry about the kids entertaining themselves. We DO have a Wii, though!

We LOVE the balloon and had it at Keeley's 'who's 2' themed party last year. awesome! we got her a pirate one this year, and who knows next year? probably princess, sadly, which is why we did pirate this year.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474928571871603804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18065716.post-20306633531004933452011-11-20T09:13:27.358-05:002011-11-20T09:13:27.358-05:00I read your entire post and enjoyed all the detail...I read your entire post and enjoyed all the details. My favorite part was the burping girls! With our 4 boys, that wouldn't surprise me if it were to happen someday, but I love imagining little girls in party clothes burping as loudly as they can.<br /><br />Jacob was in kindergarten the year the triplets were born. Our 'neglected' boys have not had any friend parties yet, save the one time we bought (won) a bowling party in a charity auction. We've been busy these past few years plus our house is WAY! TOO! SMALL! I can't imagine bringing any more boys into this crazy place. But my ultimate goal is to have an awesome at-home friend party one of these years. Notes to self: short time frame for party; attempt to find calm activities for boys (ha!); try to get over my dislike for goody bags and give them our anyway.

Somehow, that doesn't go along with that group of girls. How funny! Looks like it all went well, though. And again, you are done until next year!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03926598826215431046noreply@blogger.com
