backyard birthday {for the whole class!}

Yesterday I helped my neighbor throw her daughter a fabulous seventh birthday party. And the best part - she didn't want anyone to feel left out, so she invited her entire class! There were 23 kids and it really went smooth, the only minor mayhem was trying to gather that many kids and getting them to focus. Once they were wrangled in the garden, they all took a seat at the craft tables, girls decorated mini purses, the boys painted airplanes. We played red-light, green-light on the street, fed them homemade pizza, had a beautiful princess cake and sent them packin'. Fabulous job, Rene, job well done!
