A birthday party!

This was an exciting day in our household. We celebrated Levynn's sixth birthday with her first kids party!

We hosted seven other girls for a "pixie party" around lunchtime. It was a success, and Dad says Mom knocked it out of the park.

While the girls gathered in the lobby of our building (outfitted with homemade crowns Levynn models below), Dad hid pixie treasures in a group of trees in the park across the street. After that hunt, we all came back to the building and went to the community room.

The girls went on another hunt, this time in the room, for fairy charms. Then they used the treasures, charms and assorted paper and stickers to decorate birdhouses-turned-pixie homes that Mom and Dad had put together earlier in the week.

After the girls got cleaned up - lots of glue! - they ran around the room while waiting for the pizza to arrive. And the pizza, homemade vanilla ice cream with cherries jubilee, and organic vanilla-vanilla cake from Bleeding Heart Bakery took us right to the end.












But the fun's not done yet. Tomorrow's the real big day - and on Father's Day, just like the day she was born!
