For her first birthday party to celebrate turning five on September 30th, Saloni was in the driver's seat. We took her to choose her cake, choose her pinata (a cute purple guitar) and preview the venue - our favorite Beaches Diner in Atlantic Beach. Friday night was the night and everyone started to arrive around 5:00pm.
The menu was easy and hey, no cooking for me! We picked up the beautiful balloons which Winn Dixie so thoughfully had ready and packaged so they weren't flapping all over the place in car. And the cake was decorated with music notes and all her favorite colors. As rushed as every parent feels to make everything go on time, the evening could not have gone smoother. Everyone, albeit a few friends, came to party. And the best part? Nothing went worng. No, really. You know how you look back at weddings, parties, other events and laugh or reminscince about things that went wrong. This night was one to remember for everything that went right.
The kids had a blast from Sunil directing a Disney channel Bingo game we created to breaking the Guitar pinata stocked with candy to an arts and crafts project the kids got to take home. It was so much fun and the food was so yummy.
