Dorathea's 5th Birthday..."Surprise!"


Dorathea requested a surprise party.  Surprising someone who wants to be surprised can be tricky, but today Ted, and I pulled it off.  Here's the footage;

Our party was almost rained on, but I saved it at the last minute by moving it to the Meadowbrook YMCA (in the same building as the Public Library, an Appaliachan Shop, a playground, and a nice little cafe).  Yay, Mom saves the day yet again!

The kids were eager to offer their gifts so we got right to it, to Dorathea's great delight. 

D- "For me?"- a homeaid apron
D- "Just what I always wanted!"



Then onto musical chairs; 


And after some lunch Cupcakes!


Which is good because some people can't wait much longer;






She blows and the pinwheels turn!
And everyone eats to buttercream cupcakes my mom helped me make last night.
then out come the giant balls!  Again my child matches perfectly :)







And we put the giant balls away and birthday party is done, so home we go,
