Piece of Cake





















Somewhere in my history of motherdom, I started a tradition: you can have a birthday party when you turn five, eight, and twelve. This year Gracie turned 12, James turned 5 and Anna turned 8. Three birthday parties-yikes! Gracie's party was the easiest. She invited three of her closest friends (Eunice, Amber, and Natalie) and we went to a ceramics shop and painted plates. Then we came to our house for one of her favorite homemade dinners, Spaghetti. Afterwards, they played board games, had a fireworks show, and watched "Bedtime Stories". Compared to the "cowboy campfire" and the "preschool game time" this party was a piece of cake.

Happy B-day Susan Grace! Looks like a fun party.

You are smart to do the birthday parties staggered. Have you ever figured out what the maximum number you will have in a year will be? Is 3 the max? (that's the number lover in me wondering).
