Lauren had her birthday party last Saturday. She and Abbie both convinced me to have a Webkinz party at the house. It has been YEARS since we've had a birthday party at our house--and now I remember why! I always love having someone else have to set up the party and clean up after we leave. All WE have to do is show up!
This year they really, really wanted a Webkinz party. It didnt take much convincing, as I even have my own Webkin--shshshhhh! don't tell! Well, I soon find out that Webkinz have not licensed their stuff yet--so no going to Party City and just buying the plates, banners, napkins and games. Oh no!! I had to come up with the games and actually MAKE them. Did you hear that MAKE them! Anyone who knows me at all, knows I have absolutely no creative bone in my body. But, we finally picked some games and wah-la...a Webkinz party is born. Oh, and did I mention I invited 15 four year olds---figuring only 10 or so would actually be able to make it....guess what! All 15 came!!! Imagine--15 four year olds INSIDE my house. Oh, and did I also mention, we had planned for an outside party--until it was 52 degrees and raining that morning.
Anyway, the party was a HIT! Webkinz galore--Pin the Tail on Scarlet (Lauren's cat Webkin), Candy Bash (pinata), Lily Padz, and we made our own Legendary Crowns of Wonder--and of course--the Employment Office--we made hamburgers for lunch.
So, all that matters is that Lauren and her friends had a great time. And next year,--we're going bowling! :)
