Okay, we already had the party, a few of them actually! We caved and had the family party at my parent's house b/c I just couldn't imagine having everyone at my house 8 days after we'd started moving in (and only 2 days after we'd actually finished moving out of the old house).....thanks mom and dad ~ don't we look well rested and happy, not stressed out or crazy at all!
This year's party had a Wizard of Oz theme because both kids are obsessed with all things Oz!! We have read the book, been to the play, and watched the movie half a dozen times. They love to act it out using costumes and props...it's fun! Here is cousin Seth getting some time in the Lion costume the day of the party!!
Prior to the party we asked our family to consider contributing to our Disney trip so that we could make that happen this fall as the kids REALLY want to go. Since we were moving in between their birthdays, a bunch of extra toys to find places for was not tops on my list and the kids don't really need more toys (I know, they are kids, they can never have too many toys!!!). At the end of the party we shared the big news with them that they had been given enough money to be able to go to Disney World in September...this was the look when they finally "got" what we'd said....I can't wait for the looks when we finally make it there. So, now the waiting begins....
