The bowling team included Ella, Zoe, Sevilla, Elise, and Carolyn. The party invitations were hand-delivered with a note asking each girl to please wear their personalized bowling shirt to the party.

The parents were paired into teams and bowled on one lane over. We had prizes for the adults too, and they were not for the team with the highest score. They were for style and for the team who best predicted what their score would be. We had pizza (and beer for the adults). We ate cake. The girls ran around like cooks. Their favorite part of the day was the video game hallway. None of us gave them quarters. They just acted like they were driving the car.
I can put together a pretty cute party -- with the shirts and the favors -- but I am not sure why I try to make the homemade cake to match. Next party, no matter what the theme, will have a store bought cake.
You cannot totally tell from this video, but she was really overwhelmed when we sang happy birthday to her. When everyone said, "blow out your cabdles" she almost started crying. It was like she got stage fright.
Shortly after this, she pulled me aside and asked if she could open up her presents at home instead of in front of everyone. She changed her mind on this request, when each little girl asked if she would open up her gift before they left. Ella gave her a kite, which she has been asking for. Zoe gave her a Rapunzel doll with two changes of clothes. Sevilla gave her a barbie that goes in the bathtub; her hair changes colors when it gets wet. Elise gave her a set of ponies.Oh, how she loved the presents! And, oh how thankful I was that we only invited four little girls because I am not sure I could handle any more barbie or pony stuff in the house.
