We had bug's party on the Saturday after her birthday. We had a cute pink lemonade theme. I tried so hard to think of somewhere to have the party where it would compliment the decor, be on neutral grounds for split families, and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. But, I kinda gave up and realized I wanted to focus more on Hallie than all the stress, so we had it in our dinky little apartment (parking was interesting with 40 people) with our red dining room walls that horribly clashed with the pink and yellow. But, the day ran smoothly, I wasn't stressed, all the people Hallie loves were there and goodness she LOVED all the attention she got that day. We had sub sandwiches, veggies, Pico salsa (duh) and of course lemonade. Everyone just hung out while Hallie opened presents (ok, she opened one and didnt care about the rest so I helped) and then watched her eat her cake while everyone else had cupcakes. PS, Hallie is so my child. We had her try a store bought cake and she didnt like it. She loves homemade cake so much better. Thats my girl! She was so into her yellow cake with strawberry frosting (pink lemonade themed ya!) that she didnt even notice her guests leaving. After everyone left, we forgot about the huge mess that was now our living room and took a family nap. It took a couple of days to get our apartment back together, we had moved all the furniture around and took all the decor off the walls to replace it with a shrine of our cute daughter. But it was so worth it. So glad you had a good birthday party Hallie, we love you!!
