Sunday was the day of Liv's big 8 years old birthday party. She invited all of the girls in her class, and nearly all were able to come. The plan was for everyone to meet at 1 at the university sports center just down from our cottage. I hurried home from my soccer match and arrived just as the girls were showing up. Ooops. Rachelle managed to simultaneously graciously greet the guests and shoot me a "you will pay dearly" look.
We all had fun trampolining at the sports center and then the gaggle of girls headed for our home. We used the shared space and I quickly ushered them in for a game of musical chairs. Next a bit of balloon volley ball and lots of squealing and running around.
We sat around the large table and had pizza, fruit salad, carrots, and Shirley Temple's in little wine glasses with cherries and paper umbrellas, which were a huge hit.
A bit more running and squeaking before we had the soccer ball cake and singing. It is common for little Brits to sing out at the end of the birthday song, "And don't forget the champagne...pssshhh!"
Liv then took the girls out to some of her favorite trees for climbing time before they were picked up.
Fun was had by all.
