Family was up Friday night. YaYa, Gramma, the Papas, aunts, uncles, and cousins all came to wish Kyla a happy sixth birthday. The highlight for me was defiantly when she opened her Mona Lisa. It was from Heidi. It was what she had been wanting for months. She's been fixated on the Mona Lisa for over a year or so now but then Costco had a Mona Lisa canvas on display for the last few months. So it was on her mind. Heidi was just as excited to give it to Kyla. She also LOVES pumpkin pie (and this from a girl who doesn't like much...not even ice cream!) So we had a pumpkin pie instead of cake. I love Kyla and her specific likes and dislikes.
On Saturday she had a little friend party. It was cute to see her with her little Kindergarten buddies. Of course the theme of this party had been discussed among the three of us for months (me, K and H). She finally decided on a Rapunzel painting party, combining her love of Disney princess and art.
I must say this was the most successful and calm birthday party I have ever had. This is probably due to the fact that my girls are getting older, there were no babies or toddlers in attendance (Molly even slept for almost the entire party), and the crowd was smaller than usual. Oh, and the fact that my cute college-age neighbor girl, home for Thanksgiving, came and was my very own personal party helper. I LOVE HER. It was so nice. The girls just all sat and painted on their canvas' for thirty minutes, perfectly content with creating their pieces of art.
We did play one game, "Pin the Frying Pan on Flynn Rider." In the past games have been a flop. Remember two years ago Musical Chairs turned into a terrible cry fest. This year was different. It went well. Even Casey got in on the action. Later he pointed out there seventeen females in attendance (including moms) and one lone man, him.
Pascal Party Blowers...
Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Kyla!
