A couple of weeks have passed and I am just now posting about the day. My latency may in part be due to the fact that Yours Truly is still in denial; did our Little Miss REALLY just turn SIX? I can't believe it has been 6 years since our girl entered into this world (and enter she sure did!). As in years past we had a party to celebrate with close friends and family. This year was extra special because our Little Miss was able to help and seems to be a party planner in the making (a girl after my own heart)!
The Little Miss chose the theme "PJs and Pancakes" because she loves her matching American Girl pajamas and was excited to recruit her two favorite pancake chefs (her daddy and Papa). We'd originally planned a brunch time party but moved the event later in the day, having breakfast-for-dinner to avoid conflicting with her first soccer game.
The kids had fun having a pancake toss (what kiddo doesn't get excited when given permission to have a food fight?), balancing pancakes on their heads (with a bit of persuasion the adults joined in too!), pillow case racing, and marching in a "pan"cake walk. Anna Marie, a very talented elementary school teacher, read "If You Give a Pig A Pancake" (the kids love listening to her and I am sure thankful that she's always so willing to help...from dressing up as
Fancy Nancy a couple years ago to teaching the kids the
hula last year!)
We decorated with all shades of purple (the Little Miss' favorite color) and teddy bears to go along with the bedtime PJ theme. Our girl even designed her own cake, complete with a teddy bear wearing PJ's and holding her favorite blankie and pillow!
Thanks to all who celebrated with us (and for those that celebrated with us from a far)!
