Last year Alexa had so much fun at her birthday party she asked to have the same party again. At first I tried to convince her to do something elSe, but she really had her mind set on it. She wanted to see Rio. We thought that we would let her invite whoever with the hopes only half could make it. We were pretty wrong. We ended up with 33 kids! And for having that many kids, it went pretty well. We played a couple of games for the first part of it. Then I had everyone sit down to eat cupcakes and open presents. That hour and 20 minutes went so fast. I had to get them lined up and have a bathroom break before Alexa finished opening gifts.
Once we were in the movie theater, I passed out little bottles of water and candy for them to have during the movie. I was shocked at how well all of them sat queitly and watched the movie. None of them got up at all during it. After the movie we went back to our party room where the parents came and picked up the kids. Alexa tried to open up most of the presents, but she still had several to open at home.
Alexa started in on writing her thank you cards when we first got home. 2 cards in she asked me to finish and I just laughed. I told her that she had to finish writing them after she got all those gifts!
I think it for sure was a birthday to remember.
