So my baby girl turned NINE today! Lorelei wanted to have a party for some of her school friends, and she came up with the theme on her own: a “fashion” party. The main event was manicures and makeovers provided by her big sister, followed by a pinata, then gifts and refreshments.
Here are the little girls post-makeovers:
Here is the aftermath of a particularly violent encounter between an innocent doggie pinata, some little girls, and a croquet mallet:
After the little girls went home, I had to finish making the cake for the family party that was to happen just two hours later. The cake was a simple variation of buttermilk pound cake with buttercream icing, dyed peacock colors per Lorelei’s request.
Lorelei had a pretty good pile of loot!
Then it was time to make a wish!
And now I am exhausted. Good night. 🙂

Thanks for including Celestina (and for letting me hang out with you)! It was fun for both of us. Hope I didn’t add stress to your day.
OH, I was delighted to have you! I’m sure I was less stressed because I had you there to talk to. I hope I did not wear you out with all my rants.
What a great idea for her party! Remember parents are still on even when tired. My boys used to come in and talk when I had just climbed into bed to read. I still treasure those memories. They were sharing their day with me. They even had order to it. First Tim, then Mike and finally Bob’s brother.
Oh, Ellen, believe me, I know this. I won’t even go into all the parenting drama that happened later in the evening.
