A "mock" birthday

Well today was the "big" day. Emma's birthday has finally arrived. Her "mock" birthday that is. We decided to throw her a little birthday party early this year so that she could invite her friends from school before they all take off for summer vacation.

Put together 7 kids, 28 balloons, and a double helping of cake and ice cream and you've got a mild case of chaos on your hands.



Balloon wars



Craft time (sun visers and bookmarks)



Hungry for cake.



And of course the gifts.

All in all it went off without a hitch. And I didn't miss any of the US vs. Italy World Cup game either.
