A Self Managed and Planned Birthday
Pip planned the whole birthday from start to finish (and did all the prep work too!)
Everyone had a ball - it was the least stressful birthday party I had! Thanks to Pip!
 |
| She baked cupcakes (and muffins) and decorated them |
 |
| Larger muffins decorated with butterflies and hearts |
 |
| Guests arrived - see the wool - she had plans for them... |
 |
| Girls making friendship bracelets |
 |
| Then off to the local park for a play in the gorgeous spring sunshine |
 |
| Everyone had a turn on the flying fox... |
 |
| Some had help to make it go even faster! |
 |
| Everyone on board for a spin... |
 |
| Then piling on the big swing... |
 |
| We did stop to chat occasionally... |
 |
| All her friends |
 |
| Then back home to open presents and read funny cards... |
 |
| The cake...turning 12 (1 big candle and 2 little candles) |
 |
| We sang happy birthday... |
 |
| Blew out the candles... |
 |
| Took another pic with friends... |

| Then sat on mats in the backyard soaking in the sunshine til pick up time... |

What a clever girl! So good to see a young person enjoying a simple event with her friends (as opposed to the stage-managed parties that kids seem to have nowadays).
ReplyDeleteYes and I really enjoyed it myself because I could really sit back and just take pics! I think we may have started a trend - her friend is having one at home now too with something similar planned.
