With Isabella's birthday being so close to Christmas, we tend to fall into some issues. One is the timing of the party. Since we are no longer in Hawaii, her birthday falls in the cold of winter. This means all activities must be indoors. We also run into the problems of sickness. Since most of us are caught up in the festivities of the Christmas season, we get a little run down and become susceptible to virus of sorts. These two conditions, beyond our control, tend to make her parties more cozy. One of her dearest friends was swept off to Disney World for a family vacation to escape the cold and a few others has come down with the latest infection circling around town. But these did not stop a few from coming to join in the fun!
We decided to go with a Tinker Bell theme and let the boys use Peter Pan's Lost Boys as their cue. It is impossible to have fairies without wings, so the first order of business was to decorate wings!
They were all giggly and having a lot of fun!
The girls were very intent on getting the wings just so. If they did not over hear talk of other things to do, they would have worked on their wings for hours! This is much different than the boys who abandoned their animal mask creation station for the playroom.
This was fine with me, as I really wanted a relaxed time for everyone. The parents who came enjoyed sitting in the living room just chatting about everything. Everyone was so busy with their chosen first activity, I ended up dropping the T-Shirt decorating activity all together.
