Birthdays

Emi and Clara had their birthdays months ago, but they were very patient in waiting for their 'friend' parties! We had both parties on one Saturday. Clara's from 10 to 12 and Emi's from 1 to 3. They were a great success! Here are a few pics of the fun day. Clara's pics are first.




For Emi's party we played BINGO. Instead of bringing birthday gifts, each girl brought five small bingo prizes. Every time we had a winner, that girl would choose a prize from the prize table - and put the prize in their 'goodie bag'. Each girl left with eight fun prizes. It worked wonderfully!




I also celebrated my birthday this month. I was in Utah for General Conference on my actual birthday (a fabulous trip!), and I returned home to house full of decorations and cards. Jim bought an adorable little cake and insisted that it be lit with all 34 candles. The kids thought the cake was hilarious and looked like a fire! I also have wonderful neighbors and friends who surprised me with lots of yummy goodies.
