William's Birthday Party

Tonight we celebrated William's birthday with a 3 hour party with friends. It's really nice because William is old enough now to know what he wants to do and help make it happen. This year he decided he wanted to have a campfire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows. He also wanted to make and fly flipdeawills (his own creation!) and paper airplanes. He decided that he did not want a pinata and when I asked him why he said it was because he already had enough candy so he didn't think he needed to have one. =) Works for me!

As the kids arrived, they signed a big birthday tablecloth for William and then played in the yard. Once John got home from work, he started the campfire. We opened presents, flew things made out of paper, ate hot dogs and marshmallows, sang happy birthday, and those who weren't already too full had cupcakes. It was a very basic party, almost more like a big play date, but everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. It was a beautiful night for it and it was great to sit on the porch and chat with the parents as they came to pick up their kids.
