7... So really, 7? Eek!
(Emily and Ally at their Winter Concert on Tuesday)
We're having a simple birthday party for them (Fairy-Tale Unicorn theme) and they've requested hot dogs and fruit cups for dinner. (I'm not sure exactly what that says about my cooking...) Em wants yellow cake, Ally chocolate so I'm making a marble cake. Doh, I forgot to ask what flavor frosting and ice cream. And of course there will be M&M's and presents! They've actually already opened one gift from us (snow boots) and Greg plans to take them bike shopping this weekend (yippee, got out of that one! *winks*).
As per the school's request of no sweets on birthdays (they are concerned about obesity and allergies), Em and Ally are handing out fancy pencils and cute erasers today. And that's as far as their friends get involved. I feel a tiny bit guilty that we don't do the huge "invite every child in the class" birthday parties but then again I really don't. I like birthdays to be celebrated with family and close friends (and I'm really bummed we're so far away from everyone right now). Maybe in a few years when the kids have a few good school friends, I'll invite them to our birthday dinners. Anyway enough on my birthday party philosophy, I have a cake to bake!
