party of the century


I received a coveted invitation to join a small group of children to celebrate my dear friend's fifth birthday. We have been anticipating this party ever since the dad mentioned that his goal this summer is to master fusion cuisine. The party was yesterday afternoon (and it carried on well into the evening) and it was better than we could have ever imagined. There was a water slide and we all enjoyed it until a storm unexpectedly broke and we retreated indoors to play Lego and blocks and all things fun. And their house . . . it might just be our dream house . . . in our dream neighborhood.


The pinata was popular. One of the older girls broke it open after we all took many turns, spilling out balls, rubber stamps, lollipops, and helicopters.




And the cake. This beautiful cake was homemade by my friend's dad. It was constructed of three 9x13 cakes. The limbs, head, and tail were vanilla and the body was chocolate. It had the fluffiest frosting I've ever tasted. 

Although I haven't even told the story yet of my fun fifth birthday party, I am already looking ahead to next year. (All of the children are.) I want this exact party that my friend had!
