All the planning, prep, worrying, discussion, anticipation, etc. came to a head on Sunday morning as we celebrated Lily's 5th birthday PJ's and Pancakes style.
Wow.
I invited a lot of people. A lot. We had 11 kids plus parents and friends. Over 30 people in my house.
But.
It went perfectly. Like scary good. The kids were excellent. I sincerely love these kids. They colored on the butcher paper table covering, made fruit loop necklaces, ate pancakes and berries, went on a treasure hunt, danced, played a guessing goody jar game (which one kid actually guessed the exact amount and won the whole thing!) Then opened presents (Lily's proclaimed favorite part) then hung out.
I did leave out one minor detail. Beth, one of my oldest friends, came over at 8am and took over my kitchen in the best way possible. She mixed, poured, and flipped around 50-60 giant pancakes! Yep. Pretty amazing.
Now here are some random pictures from the whole thing. I only managed to take a few, but Beth got the video and the rest and I am so very grateful.
