Sydney's birthday party

Sydney's 7th birthday is coming up soon...December 24th. Yep, she is a Christmas Eve baby. We had a birthday party with some of her friends this past Saturday. It was a blast! Sydney, Veronica, Max, Aunt Janet, 9 of Sydney's friends, and I went to see the new Disney movie "Tangled" in 3D. Too cute!!!!

We had a terrible time with the theater at first because for some reason it did not make sense to them to put aside their special "Tangled" kids' packs for the party. These packs included reusable cups with removable character toys on top. They knew we were coming! They sold out! They were okay with giving us "The Chronicles of Narnia" cups/packs. REALLY?! We were scheduled to see "Tangled". Why would we give the girls special cups/toys that were from a movie they were not even seeing. After a lot of tweeting and emailing on Ron's part (Thank you, Love!), the theater overnighted what we needed from another state to our theater. Yippee!!!! I cannot even tell you how excited I was to see the correct supplies. As Ron said, "It may seem trivial; but, it made all the difference for the party." The girls were thrilled (as were we!).

After the movie, Ron and Emerson joined us in the party room. The girls finished making their beautiful crowns that looked similar to Rapunzel's in the movie. They, also, drew wanted signs just like the one for Flynn in the movie and did a maze. We then took pictures in front of the huge "Tangled" theater display and Sydney opened her gifts. She got so many wonderful things from her friends. It was a very memorable day for our princess!

Again, thank you to Ron for his help in getting the cups. I do believe they were worth all the stress and hassle. Sydney has used her cup every day since the party.

Thank you to my sister, Janet, who once again helped supervise the party and take the pictures. She cracks me up. After every children's party she helps me with, she says she is going to just be "that crazy cat lady" and never have her own children. Something about 13 children running around crazy hitting each other with balloons just pushes her to that decision. I am not sure why though. :)
