When we came inside it was time for gifts. Once, I read in a magazine, the idea to sit each guest with the birthday child while they were opening their special birthday present. Then the birthday child could hug them and thank them and really make them feel like the guest of honor. I loved that idea so much. The first picture is of Lindsey opening up a present from Elliana. Lindsey loved having each friend sit with her and she's a "hugger" anyway so she got to spend individual time with each guest that way too. Then it was supper time followed with cake and ice cream. The grand finale was a rainbow pinata. The kids all went home wearing their visors and leis looking a little like they'd been to a luau.

great cake decorating skills!
What a great idea to have the gift giver sit with the birthday girl. I love it!!
P.S. I can't get over how much Lindsey looks like you!! =)
Hmmm...
I wonder how Lindseykins' parents will top all of this partying next year or the year after or...!
Aloha! Looks like a really fun time. The cake was amazing.

--I guess you could say that Brian and I certainly go against cultural norms here in that we won't be trying to top this party next year or the next. This was Lindsey's first "Friend's party". Maybe she'll have one again at 14?? :)
Thanks for training Brian to think sensibly even with his parenting.
Wow! You did a super job! Very festive! :o)
