Great party. I didn't get a whole bunch of pictures this year, because this year we didn't hire anyone to help with the party and most of the parents didn't stay. So I was pretty busy.

As you can see, the kids looked fabulous. The one boy invited decided at the last minute not to wear his costume, but unsurprisingly all the girls were way into it. They spent a lot of time just running around being princesses.

The games were a mixed bag, with some of the kids not wanting to play and getting upset and others having a great time. I didn't expect as many game refusals, but at least one kid didn't want to play each game. There was no dissent about decorating royal goblets - everyone loved it. They spent a lot of time on their goblets, sticking on jewels until every single jewel - and I bought a lot of jewels - was used up.

The cake went fast.

It's funny: many of her friends have had parties including the whole class. I limited Alex to sending out 8 invitations, and when some of her friends couldn't come I worried a lot that I had restricted her too much and that the party wouldn't be much fun. But wow, five friends was plenty big enough. None of them seemed to think the party was too small. And I'm really glad afterward that she doesn't have 15 new toys.

What a delightful picture.

I hated the invite-the-whole-class thing, too, especially because I was exhausted and always went with Chuck E Cheeze or Little Gym or some such.
