Today we held Caitlin’s
Howdy!
I'm Jamie, just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded MouseCalls Computer Services here in Nashville. We have two daughters, two dogs, and too much laundry. I believe laughter is the best medicine, especially when administered with a good glass of wine, or three. Read more about me...
Beaux always wants everybodys birthday to be his—“My happy day!!”
Sigh.
And is this Chuck E Cheese? I thought about doing a party there next year.
Happy Birthday Caitlin!
R*Belle it’s actually just a local pizza place but they have GREAT food, a party room, and a big game room area with video games, etc. We’ve actually never been to a Chuck E Cheese party, although we were invited to one last year but couldn’t make it.
Happy birthday Caitlin! And yes, we celebrate our kids’ b-day on the closest weekend.
Kudo’s to you…..20 people was manageable? I’d have been on the beer from the get-go!
Happy Birthday to Caitlin! I hope she had a wonderful day!
Happy Birthday, Caitlin! And yeah! for you for not having to clean up a birthday mess!
She looks like she’s having a great time!
Personally I think everyone should get a birthday week! Happy birthday to your “big” little girl
totally! I love the extended birthday. In fact, I had 3 different birthday celebrations for my 33rd, capped with last night’s extravaganza! Why not do the same for these litte ones; it’s the way to go! I really like the way you handled C’s birthday party and may have to copy that idea for Lily’s. No cleaning the house before and after! What’s not to love?! and happy early birthday, girl!
Happy Birthday to a real cutiepie!
Yes, definitely extend the birthday—milk it for all you can! LOL! Julia’s birthday is next Monday and her party’s the Saturday before, and it’s really confusing her…she doesn’t get why we can’t have a big party on Monday.
What a cutie!
My baby said, “Mommy, I wanna open presents!” for weeks after her birthday and even took to screaming “IT’S MY PARTY
” every time she got together with her baby friends for a while. Mercifully, this stage didn’t last long.
what a cute picture! That is one happy gal! Our daughters’ birthdays always last about 3 or 4 days, since we have the family one and then the friends one, and cupcakes at school. What funner time to celebrate though..they get such a big kick out of it!
Looks like a fun party. She looks so cute in her Dora dress. I agree, having a child’s birthday party out of the house is priceless!
Hey, I think it would be nice to celebrate our birthdays over a few days…why not? Although, as I will be turning 40 in a few weeks, maybe I will change my mind on this one.
I’m all for the extended birthday party, for kids and adults alike. I think we managed to make Tacy’s last an entire month.
It looks like Caitlin had a wonderful time, and so did you – a major success!
Our daughter’s party is always on a weekend. I think she was about 9 before she figured out that the party day wasn’t really her birthday every year. Our son’s birthday is in July, so at least some of his parties were on the actual day. We stop parties at age 12, and he’s about to turn 21, so my memory is a little hazy.
We always do a weekend. But I also have avoided having “real” birthday parties up until this year (my oldest is turning five in August; don’t think I can get out of it any more), in favor of family gatherings at our house with cake and presents (i.e., the only other kids are cousins – less stress for me…I’m selfish, yes I am).
How happy Caitlin is! I took part in the birthday party of the little Tracy two days ago.She was also joyful that day.The laughter on her face is envious.
