Grace and I had a lovely time at her friend's birthday party this afternoon. The party was held at Appleseeds, a local preschool arts/crafts class. The lady that ran the crafts did an excellent job keeping eight 2-4 year olds happy and busy which is no easy task! To begin the party they glued jewels and stickers on birthday crowns, and then took turns painting a large birthday message for the birthday girl and putting their hand prints on the card. Grace thought the bright yellow tempera paint was very pretty. Next up they played a game where they passed a box around the circle and when the music stopped the child holding the box got to open it and won the present inside. Of course everyone won once and Grace was very happy to win a ittle bear with a raincoat. After the game they went back to the craft table and made "aquariums" which turned out very cute, and made beaded necklaces. Grace did a really good job threading the beads on her necklace and was the only child to choose to put all of one color beads on her necklace...yellow! After the crafts they sang a few songs and the birthday girl opened her presents and we sang Happy Birthday and had some excellent chocolate cake and ice cream. It was a fast and furious two hours but it sure was fun!
When we got home we opened the goody bag Grace received to find bubbles, pink playdough, crayons, and some candy. Grace was most excited about the bubbles so we headed straight outside to play with them. She insisted that she be the one to blow them, and after a few false starts managed to get the hang of it. It was so cute watching her face light up when she finally figured it out! Afterwards we had to wash her from head to toe and change clothes because she got so sticky, but it was worth it!
