Sophia's first birthday is on Sunday and try as I might I cannot think of any fantastically creative thing to do. We are going to have some friends over for pizza and cake, but it seems like there should be something more.
I think these feeling of inadequacy are coming from all the wonderful and talented women I know who can take a few pipe cleaners, some tissue paper, and turn a boring room into a child's fantasy land.
Currently I have some 1 year old decorations courtesy of our friends Jordan and Andrea McKinley, a cake mix, the intention to go buy some soda and water, and the hope that some how these things will make this first birthday feel special.
The good news is that she is only going to be one, and thus has no expectation of a grandiose and amazing party. As long as I take the appropriate pictures or cake in the face, and presents being opened she will never know that her first birthday wasn't the amazing extravaganza I will tell her it was.
A little cake, a few presents, and Mom, Dad & brothers love --That's all you need for a great party!! Enjoy! Wish I could be there!
ReplyDeleteNext time call and request a party in a box and then you can just stop thinking about it! It looks like everyone had a great time at the party.
