For Audrey's birthday we celebrated on her actual day of birth, just the 4 of us, like we always do. Nothing major. We decorated her door with streamers for when she awoke. I made her waffles with whip cream and sprinkles for breakfast before soccer camp.
And this is the first year she picked out her own cake. It too had sprinkles. The girl loves sprinkles. But what girl doesn't?
However she did not like turning 5. Claimed she wasn't ready and didn't feel 5. Some ages do seem more intimidating than others to some people I suppose.
And we did one last party. From here on out I just plan on letting her have a friend or two stay the night or maybe even take a trip some years. But no more overwhelming parties with 2 dozen friends, relatives, themes, and more stress than I want to deal with. My first baby is a big girl now and would much rather have a sleep over, which is more than fine by me.
So this year we just did a little splash pad party with her play group friends.
Since it's so hot we had the party in the morning, so I brought various donuts instead of cake. Plus, donuts look like floaties, tubes, you know, since it was a water park birthday party. Ok, ok, I know. It's a stretch. Lamest party I've thrown so far. I'm so over it. Can't you tell? Luckily she doesn't seem to mind. Plus, she loves donuts. Especially those with sprinkles. You're shocked, I know.
