It was my eldest daughter's B-Day yesterday!

As I'm typing this, "yesterday" wasn't really that long ago, lol.  I guess I'm still kind of wound up.  I'm pretty proud of myself, because it was my first time entertaining.  We moved into this house only a few months ago, after living either with one of our parents or in a place paid for by our parents.  This was our first chance to invite everyone over and par-tay!  And it went off [mostly] without a hitch!  Big Girl was super excited and happy and had tons of fun.  I made almost all of her decorations and her cake, and there was plenty of junk food for everyone.  The only damper was that her father didn't bother calling - not really a big surprise because he's a total cop-out dad.  He'll send a barrage of texts tomorrow telling me what a horrible person I am for not having her call him, but that doesn't mean much coming from a sad sack like him.  She had her soon-to-be-stepdad, all her friends and family, and more sugar than a 5-year-old should reasonably have, so it was still the best day ever!

Next up is the Little One's first (!!!) birthday!  I'm so excited, I can hardly contain it!  What are you ladies planning for your LO's big days?
