Tomorrow my sweet Amelia turns 9! Impossible! I have been busy planning her birthday fiesta. I am not just trying to sound festive. That is what she requested, a birthday fiesta. To my dismay, Amelia asked for a fiesta instead of the girly options I tried to push on her. I have two boys to hold basketball parties and lego themed events. It would be nice if I could go girly once in a while. But, her reasons are good ones. Amelia wanted to invite boys and did not want to subject them to jewelry making or the like. So, a fiesta it is. I have had most of the plans simmering for a couple of weeks, but this week I have to actually get out of the "idea" faze.
Yesterday, during Liam's nap I finished the party favors. I found this idea for mini pinata's here: http://onecharmingparty.com/2011/04/29/cinco-de-mayo-pinata
Mine aren't quite as cute, but not too bad...
I dedicate this post to my glue gun. You are a strong, loyal friend and my favorite crafting tool.
Do you prefer to hold your children's parties at home or in a public venue?
