D had a wonderful birthday last week. After 364 days of anticipation, I think the day was more than satisfactory. I was concerned. It's usually lots of fun for me to plan and execute the kids' birthdays, but I was dreading this one because it really has been a main topic of conversation since D's 4th birthday. I've read that it's normal, but it was all D talked about! I was sure she would be disappointed because her idea for a great birthday meant:
A sleepover party
A visit from the Sea Fairy Queen
A ballet performance (by D)
A party at The Beach House (an indoor play center)
Costumes
A bouncy castle
A drawing contest
and a dance
Thankfully, we've found a compromise and will celebrate with friends Saturday night with a Disco Party and pizza.
We kicked off the morning with balloons and "5" signs all over the house.
And pancakes with chopsticks for breakfast (of course!)
D's birthday was a Wednesday so C and I signed up to be on roster that day. We spent the morning with our birthday girl, went home for lunch and nap, and then came back in the afternoon to help hand out birthday cupcakes.
Gymnastics after school. (Sorry about the girl adjusting her wedgie- no time to crop and edit)
Dinner at D's fav Italian restaurant, and then gift opening at home.
Barbie Pool Party!
Fancy Nancy books!
Tickets to Dora Live!
Will post disco party pics soon!

That sounds like quite a fine 5th birthday Ms. D! I'm sad we missed it. It seems just yesterday you had your 4th Birthday! Can't wait to see the disco pics, groovy!
