Simon's Birthday Party

Today was Simon's 5th Birthday Party at our house!  I was a little scared about how it was going to go because I invited his entire class of 35 kids plus about 7 or 8 additional kids and it is not common practice here to RSVP so I had virtually no idea how many kids were going to show up!!

I cleared out most of our furniture from the living room and hired a magician and hoped for the best!  Overall, it was great.  There were 36 kids total and they mostly behaved.  They were all a little piggish when it came to the food, but I guess that was to be expected.  And one kid was not only wearing LIPGLOSS (she is 6) but asked me for a chair because she was wearing a new outfit and didn't want to sit on the floor with the rest of the kids!!

Enjoy the pictures...video will follow in another post!

My masterpiece cake!
