What do you get when you put 35 people in a room, mostly adults, dressed in costumes? Amelia Grace's birthday party. At first when she wanted to have a costume party I thougt it was a great idea, then I started planning this party and suddenly realized that what I thought was a great idea....wasn't. I don't know how I convinced at least 24 adults to dress up in costumes and come to a birthday party....except to say that we have some pretty cool family and friends.
We had some unique costumes: Sarah Palin, several princesses, a butterfly, a black cat, pirates, bikers, doctor, nurse, panther fans, and player, bunnies, Grammy & Grampy, ladybugs, and bumblebees. There were a few that I think didn't want us to have evidence of their sillyness so they didn't dress up but we were blessed they came to the party. Oh yes, we had the most adorable little red riding hood and jack-o-latern you have ever seen.
We painted pumpkins and gave out lots of candy. The theme of the party was Tinker Bell (Amelia Grace is very into fairies right now...not sure why) So we gave out pixie sticks and had popcorn and cotton candy bags. We had cake and cupcakes sprinkled with pixie dust and really just had a very good time with family and friends.
Most importantly Amelia Grace had a wonderful time, and I think another costume birthday party will be in our future, just not next year.
