Party anxiety
Allow me to remind myself: this is a child’s birthday party. A scrumptious, chubby-cheeked, sunshine-faced of a child. But, this is a child, nonetheless, that I’m throwing a party for. Not a bride or groom.
It’s almost 11PM, and I’m sitting here with some party anxiety. My list of things-to-do has been checked and rechecked. My vision of the most imaginative and personal King of the Jungle Safari themed first birthday is materializing. I just hope everyone will enjoy themselves.
Bags of activities, party favors, and scrapbooking supplies are sitting by the door waiting to be loaded into the car to be transported to the banquet center. The items on my list that have been outsourced are at partial completion, and are promised to be done by tomorrow 9AM. Excited for such a, uh, grand event–it’s Justin’s 1st birthday party!!!–but, nervous. I just want everything to be right.
Stay tuned for pictures!

Ms Party Executive - you are too funny
Frost’s 7th birthday is today also. We are having a Dragon Quest for the 100 jewels and some lego games and a pizza and some home-made sundaes. I have gone slightly overboard hiding semi-precious stones around our house and my husband Josh has designed a web-interface to guide the pack of boys on the Quest.
I am actually looking forward to it…. and NO cake
I hope it goes well for you and Justin.

Justin’s party was soooooo fun. I was so lucky to be able to see bits and part of it while i was working. I LOVEDDDDDDD the slide show, you guys did an amazing job. I love the backpacks, i’m sad that there weren’t any my size safari backpacks =( lol. Cupcakes were YUMMIEEE. I hope you guys were able to enjoy the party too. Justin is such a lucky baby boy to have such great supporting parents like you and loi. And a big brother, Nathan, to blow out his candles for him…hehe. I cant wait for pictures!!! love you guys!
