I love doing my kids parties even though a lot goes into them and it can get stressful. And I know they don't understand the time and money that goes into the cakes, but it makes them happy to see them. And I know when they get older and look back at the pictures they will appreciate it. I was worried this morning since everyone was up early, and Addie barely napped, Zach did not nap, and the kids were a little moody but they all behaved really well at the party and had fun playing with their little friends.
And of course the presents!!!! The moment we got there and Zach saw his first present getting put on the table he was set to open everything. I think he asked me at least 50 times if it was time to open the presents. He has figured out how much fun it is to open gifts. I mean I am 30 and I still love getting presents from people! And he ripped through them as fast as he could. Alex helped ( well opened) Addie's for her and she seemed more interested in the paper than anything else.
They got a lot of great toys and clothes from everyone and came open and started playing with everything before bed. Addie only played for about 15 minutes because she was exhausted and passed right out. Zach we let stay up a little later than normal so he could build train tracks and try out his new truck and everything else, but once his head hit the pillow he also passed right out. And for now we get a little break until Alex's birthday in March. Usually I just do a little something on his birthday and then a big party in May when the weather is better and we can be outside, but after today he has lots of ideas in mind for gifts he wants and also cakes he wants. And I am sure his party will be just as fun as the little ones was today!
