off without a hitch
The birthday party, that is. Fewer kids attended than I expected (a combination of Thanksgiving weekend and flu season!) but that actually worked in my favour—fewer kids to entertain!
As the girls arrived we painted their faces to look like cats and had them decorate Hello Kitty ears (black, foam ears glued to headbands) with stickers and glitter glue. When they were done with that we went straight into a game of pin the bow on Hello Kitty, and from there we had an origami folding session. I chose an easy, kid friendly origami project—the traditional boat, and the kids loved it. A few of them even knew how to make other things and led the rest of the girls in making hats and hearts.
Finally we opened presents and ate a yummy ice cream cake—and before I knew it the party was over!
Now what was I so stressed about…?
