Party like a four year old!
Because I’m clearly insane I decided to host not one, but two parties for V this weekend; Saturday night we had the families over for dinner, twelve of us in total. We ate, drank and were merry, and she was totally spoiled. Do you know what takes a really, really long time to do? Placing approximately 8 zillion tiny little icing stars on a cake:
Do you know what I did 3 times this weekend? Yep:
This picture tells me two things. One is to take better pictures, and the second is that my house elves are lazy. Yes that wrinkled silence cloth (tablecloth was already in the wash), 1/2 cake and mess in the background are the aftermath of the first party.
The front cakes were for the second party, the one where we invited 13 kids (and the parents who were nuts enough to stay) over for a sugar-fueled, noise-maker enhanced, prince and princess party:
Aftermath:
You do not want to look too closely at that carpet. My current plan is to lock the door until Thursday and then see how the house elves have gotten on with the cleaning.
Oh, and sleep for a week.
I bet both parties were tons of fun! The cakes look delish too! Clean-up, shmean-up. You deserve a rest after all that party-planning and fun-having.
Thanks! I like your thinking.
Obviously worth it. Critics rated it as the BEST party ever.
