Once Upon A Time... there was a princess who turned 7 and had 7 little girls over for a party and that's all she asked for as a present. They watched Barbie's Thumbelina, made bracelets (where there weren't enough letters to spell everyone's name properly), and put frosting on cupcakes. They got frosting all over themselves, wiped it off with baby wipes, and used lots of cup cake sprinkles.

Things a mama learns at a party:
1. All 7 year old girls are not alike.
2. Some little girls like parrots. That is a universal mystery to all mothers.
3. Some little girls like to make necklaces instead of bracelets.
4. Some little girls want to make necklaces and bracelets.
5. Some little girls want to make neither bracelets nor necklaces.
6. Little girls scream. A lot.
7. Little girls ask you if you think they are the teacher if you call them "Miss Cambri." They also think you are silly.
8. Little girls like to chase each other and play tag at least as much as little boys.
9. Little girls are just as mean as little boys, perhaps more so.
10. My little girl is easily embarrassed, and very silly. She reminds me a lot of me.

Her favorite gift was the MAKE UP that the mom from up the street gave her. Remind me to tell the mom she's a gem. ;o)

It was a lovely party, and Xandri was thrilled that we actually bought her a present, too. Max tried to poke his fingers into her cinnamon rolls and he tried to touch the flames on her candles and blow them out before she got a chance at that. He's so much fun at two that I've decided he should stop being two now and move along to three. I'm done with the terribles, now.

Happy Birthday, Xanadu! She's no longer Xandria-Popper-Thippen!! She's all grown up! She's taking her favorite Little Debbie pink Valentine snack-cakes to school for her sharing treat. Having a birthday during the school year means you get to celebrate it for several days in a row. We're having the family over for Family Home Evening cake and ice cream. Let them all eat cake!
