We celebrated Lucinda's birthday at our house today with 14 of her friends! The girls were incredibly well behaved and nice to one another. Each time a girl arrived at the door, the rest rushed over to welcome her.
There were two crafts: decorating a birthday crown and decorating a wooden picture frame and a postcard to put in it. Some girls went a little crazy with the glitter glue! Blaine ran the games: (1) Simon Says and (2) Musical Statues. The menu was easy American food: PB&J, tuna sandwiches, Lays potato chips (a huge, huge hit), crudites, watermelon and birthday cake.
I made the cake with a very successful recipe from an expert-baking mom at Willowbrook but both layers mysteriously fell when I took them out of our screwy French oven. Fortunately, it tasted great despite its pound-cake density.
When the girls sang a boisterous rendition of Happy Birthday, Lucinda looked as happy as I've ever seen her.
