Friday evening brought a house full of little peeps. We celebrated Lelu's 6th birthday (round #2). We also entertained her little bro (A. Boston), plus my two nephews and niece (The Divine Miss M) ... while their folks were on a date.Since I'd spent no more than about 60 waking minutes (combined) at home over the past two weeks, it was kind of a "short cut" party ... which I always feel a little guilty about. BUT, we had fun (and that's what really matters). I picked up some "take and bake" pizzas and juice boxes; I made a big tossed salad and a fresh fruit salad. I found a miniature carrot cake and six "O
range Crush" cupcakes--and set them on my cakestand. (Note the cute little antique wood drawers--white with blue trim--that I picked up at a great flea market last week for $6 each!)We gave Lelu a beadmaking box (like mine--which she loves) filled with beads of all sizes, colors and shapes. Then the girls created jewelry; K entertained his cousins; and A. Boston and "Papa" went for a walk. Finally, we all watched "Enchanted" and "Shrek 3" in the living room, eating popcorn while sitting on blankets, picnic-style. Everybody cuddled; a few crashed (around 9:30 p.m.) but we all had fun.
