Anyway, Cat really wanted a birthday party and she hasn't had one in a couple of years, so we obliged. But we kept it small and simple (a necessity, due largely to the ill-timed events of the following week and all of the preparations still underway for said events). We sent evites. We had the party at a park, requiring minimal investment and few decorations. Cat had no requirement for cake, bless her soul, so the candles she blew out were protruding from a pan of rice krispy treats.
Cat really wanted a sports-type party, so we thought of a few active activities. Cat demonstrated an obstacle course through the playground (which, thankfully, was deserted) and we timed the girls as they made their way through the playground. Then they had a water balloon fight in the grass, and after lunch they had to break little figurines out of small blocks of ice. They all had a great time. Most importantly, Cat had a blast. She really loved her party, and I was so glad.
For dinner that night, Cat requested French Toast. (How awesome is this girl??) She enjoyed opening a few presents and talking to family members on the phone. It was a great day!
So fun! Wish we could have been there.
