Last year, we celebrated Olivia’s half birthday in June. This year, we wanted to celebrate her birthday closer to the actual date. She decided that she didn’t want another bowling party (after 3 in a row), but instead wanted an indoor-jumpy type of party. In order to talk her out of that, we negotiated a “princess party” at home and she took the bait.
Her party was on January 13th and some days before it, she changed her mind and said she wanted a jumpy party. We assured her that her princess party would be great. Grace has many talents, but chief among them is entertaining and event planning. Olivia invited all her new princess friends from Kindergarten as well as some old friends from Gazelle. A few brother princes also joined in the fun.
Grace had her nail salon ladies come over to give the girls mani-pedis (I was not offered one). There were a couple craft stations (crowns and jewelry) as well as some games. I was pleased that some poor lovable character did not serve as a piñata, but instead a princess castle (much better).
Thanks to Addy, who came over to help cook, and also to Clara, who brought the balloons and got her princess fix. Great job, Grace.
Happy Birthday, Olivia! We love you so much.
