Birthday Party Scrooge

So, I don't know what my problem is...but, I really, really, REALLY don't like children's birthday parties! Maybe it's some repressed childhood memory, or maybe it's just being in a room full of kids hyped up on too much sugar and no nap, or maybe I've just turned into a HUGE scrooge in my old age! My guess is it's the latter!

I really need to get over this aversion...fast! In the last two months Lily has been invited to no less than 10 birthday parties. No, I'm not exaggerating! Needless to say, I've been getting lots of practice at grinning and bearing it...and Lily has been having a blast!

Today's party had a princess theme. As much as Lily loves her accessories she is not at all into the 'princess thing'. Lily doesn't know one Disney princess from the other. Now, if it had been a Thomas The Tank Engine party Lily would have been in her glory!

Don't get me wrong...Lily loves her Hollywood's, necklaces, purses, and even the occasional boa...but as accessories to her own clothes. Lily doesn't like to play "dress up" in actual costumes. Does that make sense? It didn't matter...dressed up or not...Lily had a lot of fun. Hey, with M&M's, pretzels, potato chips, and cake...what's not to love?
