Getting Creative

I have been getting things ready for Katherine's upcoming birthday party.  Now I am NOT Martha Stewart. Not even close.  In fact, I don't really like parties.  I am never quite comfortable in big social gatherings, whether I am the host or a guest.  That being said, I love planning parties for my girls. 

Katherine chose an owl theme for this year's birthday.  I was kind of surprised, but owls are really popular so there are lots of ideas out there.  Kate and I went shopping for all of the paper goods and craft supplies (I can dream up art projects for any theme!) and I made a great pin-the-beak-on-the-owl game.  Today was the day for invitations.  I have made invitations for most of the girls' birthdays and I always have a good time doing it.  Today was no exception.  Both girls helped and it ended up being a great mess.
But aren't they darling?
Now we just have to wait for the (wild, exhausting, and probably fun) party.
