In addition to vacations this summer, we get to celebrate the kids' birthdays. Since they are getting older, we are starting to have separate parties. The single party solution was easier when they were small, but now they're getting older and forming their own opinions regarding how they want to spend their day.
Madeleine's birthday party was first. For her we decided to have a tea party. There is a place nearby that hosts tea parties so she was able to invite several of her girlfriends to the event. The girls got dressed up and they were served finger sandwiches and lemonade. Lemondade was chosen since the prospect of serving caffeine to 14 little girls in a confined environment didn't sound like a good idea. Madeleine's Aunt Mindy was visiting and was an invalable asset in helping to entertain the girls at the party.
Evan's party, on the other hand was the polar opposite of Madeleine's. Evan wanted to have a laser tag party. Essentially laser tag is comprised of putting on a vest with sensors, going into a playing area and seeing how many people you can shoot. Since it's lasers nobody gets hurt. Tina, Gigi and I took 11 boys to Ultrazone for the laser tag experience. They all had a great time. From there we took everyone to pizza where Madeleine and friends joined us. Both kids seemed to enjoy their respective parties and were glad that they didn't go to each other's.
