Last year both girls had birthdays on the road. This year we decided
to be a bit more chill about it and so both will have b-days at home.
For her birthday Evie picked four friends for a sleepover. She made her
own invitations for her friends on the computer. We were pretty happy
with her initiative and (for some reason) didn't think to proofread
them... which meant that the birthday was accidentally set for a Friday
night (when the weekend before we were in DC....) We rolled with it
pretty well though :)
The birthday bash consisted of pizza eating and playing and then the
main event of a trip to Valley of the Moon to see Rumpelstiltskin. Three
of the girls had never been, so it was extra fun to have them
experience the quirky place. After the show they hung out and played
the "games" for awhile and then we headed home for cake.
After cake, Evie opened presents (Evie's friends bought her legos,
shopkins and sewing crafts) and then the girls watched wiener dog
internationals (a high budget film to be sure) and then had a "scary
story contest".
While the girls slept I put together clues for a scavenger hunt for the next morning and then got up early to hide the treasure. I am not sure who had more fun... me or the girls :)
It was a bit exhausting to have the party on Friday, but we were pretty thankful for a restful Saturday night and Sunday!
