The parties started with Peyton’s friend, Misha, celebrating her 5th birthday. We got there early, so Peyton could acclimate. She was happy to give Misha her present, and Misha was even happier! Peyton did wish her a happy birthday as we practiced 🙂 We headed inside, and Peyton sat right next to Misha, and wanted to do the same craft, coloring, just like Misha. Then, she wanted to color the same colors as Misha. Like SWF! Each chair at the small kids’ table had a set of fairy wings. Peyton wanted the purple ones, which was perfect, since the chair next to Misha had purple ones. Misha’s mom was very thematic with the food and decorations! She had toadstools (string cheese topped with tomatoes), wands (fruit skewers), twigs and nuts (pretzels and nuts), and fairy cakes (mini Sprinkles cupcakes). There were drinks for the adults, too – sangria, beer, and Irish coffee (I got decaf, and it was delicious). Sapphire, the fairy, arrived about 30 minutes into the party. By this time, Neha and Sydney had also arrived with their moms. The girls all had a great time coloring and getting tattoos. Later, Sapphire made the girls balloon art. Peyton was one of the few girls who wanted to eat. She had a few fruit skewers, the cheese stick without tomato, and a few pretzels and nuts. She ate one egg roll (not themed), and then a few more pieces of fruit before returning to get her balloon. The party was taken outside for a magic show. Sapphire had some puppets, but Peyton was convinced they were real! She even told my mom that there was a real mouse and dog at the show! While outside, we sang the birthday song and then cake was passed around. Peyton ate hers, but I passed knowing I’d have more food opportunities later in the evening. We were one of the first to leave, even though the party was almost 3 hours long. I softened the blow by telling Peyton we had to go to see Grandma. She got moving, said goodbye to both parents and the birthday girl. We went home, and Dave had already packed up the kids’ stuff. I showered, then got ready for Dave’s company’s party. Peyton changed out of her party clothes, then we headed to my parents’ to drop the kids off. We went back to the restaurant, and Dave started to set up. I helped a little with the tent cards and their placement. The guests started to arrive about an hour later. I was excited to eat apps, since Dave had been raving about them. The entertainment, a magician and his wife, a balloon artist arrived. They were both excellent entertainers, with the magician stealing the bouncer’s phone right out of his pocket without him knowing. The balloonist made us some stuff to take home to the kids. The food was excellent, and we were all stuffed. Dave was happy with the wine selection, and he was happy the event went off without a hitch. He treats these things like his wedding, with all the planning and coordination. He works with his “work wife” Kathy, and they even talk to each other how Dave and I talk to each other at home, bickering back and forth about the party details. So, we got to commiserate over dinner to the delight of our table-mates, who all know Dave well, too. We almost closed the party down, leaving only a handful of people there. We got home to the kids, who were asleep already and caught up with my mom. When I snuggled in with Peyton, she grabbed my pinky in her hand and squeezed. I told her, “It’s Mommy.” She said, “I know,” then started to snore! Poor thing was exhausted as they got to stay up until 930 pm watching the re-run of “Sound of Music.” Both kids love the songs, and I think Peyton will sit through that movie more-so than the cartoon movies we’d seen lately. My mom told both kids to stay asleep until 8 am. Peyton did it by sleeping through, while Brandon woke up and had to be contained by Dave. At 8:01 am, he headed upstairs and thereby awoke Peyton. The kids ate some breakfast, but I didn’t want to eat much, as we were having lunch at my dad’s holiday party. This would conclude our holiday parties! We headed to GGF for a day at the horse races. We’ve done this in the past, and it’s a lot of fun. Peyton was looking forward to it, though my mom had to tell her she wasn’t riding them. The food was pretty good, with 3 salads, and a carving station. Peyton ate her full slice of prime rib, while Brandon, who has declared he doesn’t like red meat, ate 3 large pieces of chicken, in addition to his salad and veggies. Dave bet on some of the races, and at the fourth, we headed down with our escort to take a picture with the winning jockey. He shook the kids’ hands, then he posed with us for a photo. We couldn’t taken photos of our own, because they are selling us the photo, after giving us one free (my mom wanted copies for all of us). We headed back upstairs, and then we did the gift exchange. I was the first to pick, and I was trying to strategize to see how I could game the system to avoid having my gift be stolen, yet come home with something decent. I ended up doing just that by selecting a make-up product, cutting out half of the potential steals with the men not stealing my object. Dave got an amazon gift card, which is perfect for him! We stayed until the final race, and all 6 of us came home together. We just dropped the parents off, then headed home. It was so late by this time, but the kids were still hungry for dinner. I was not. They’re definitely Dave’s kids. We stopped by for sandwiches, and then headed home to eat. We were still able to get them down around 730 pm, and surprisingly, they went to sleep. They’d slept all the way home in the car, so I didn’t think they’d sleep easily tonight, but they’ve had a long weekend (as have we!) One more week until vacation freedom! Here are the pictures from today:
The balloon artist made a ring of Beast’s rose. It was pretty amazing, and there was a deflated balloon used as the rose itself. Peyton appreciated it. Too bad one of Dave’s higher up’s wife stole our Ariel that we had for her. It was sitting on my stuff, and they had been eyeing it all night long. Instead of asking for one of her own, she took mine when we left our downstairs spot 🙁
