It makes you feel great when, in the middle of a fun-filled birthday party, your new five-year-old looks at you with all sincerity and says, "This is the best birthday party I've ever had!" And it truly was! We had a great party last night that Grace helped me plan. She told me what kind of cake she wanted, who she wanted to invite, and even helped me decorate.Aaron's family came over, along with a few of Grace's friends (including her primary teacher.) After a dinner of pizza and salads the kids had a blast going on a "scavenger hunt" for hidden treasure (I hid clues that led to a chest full of Hershey's hugs and kisses.) We ended the night with cake, ice cream, and presents. The birthday-girl was delighted to be surrounded by people she loves. What a great way to celebrate your life!
Reading the clues...and finding the treasure! (I made the treasure chest out of a tissue box and card stock.)
