Kelsey had her first friend birthday party today. She invited 5 friends from dance class and 4 of them were able to make it. The morning of the party she was really giddy and hard to calm down. She was in the garage helping us set up and the smile on her face went from ear to ear. However, the waiting got old after awhile and right before the party started she looked sad. When we asked her what was wrong she said, "My friends aren't coming." When we finally reassured her they would be there and she actually saw the first car pull up, she was a happy little girl again. When the girls arrived, they started by making crowns. Next up was pin the heart on the crown game. After that, Kelsey opened gifts, and received some very thoughtful presents as well. The invited girls also got goody bags that they had to find hidden princess coins around the house to turn in and collect their bags. After all the gifts, the girls decorated cookies. Finally, they just played for the remaining time. They also showed off their dance moves while jamming to the Disney princess CD. All in all, I would say her first friend birthday party was a success.
After the party was done, we decided we needed to celebrate the day with dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Kelsey told them it is going to be her birthday and they brought her dessert and sang to her. Daddy got to get in on the action, too, so Kelsey did not have to brave the singing and whip cream in the face alone :)
On the way home, we stopped close to our to house to see a mama deer and her three fawns crossing the road. It was weird to see the deer in town. They were in no hurry either. We sat parked on the road for a good few minutes while they slowly crossed the street.
