sweet & simple

I remember the birthday parties I used to go to as a kid.  They were very simple affairs.  Mostly kids playing.  Sometimes there were even party games.  Birthday cake was always eaten (minus the icing for me as I always found it too sweet) .  And there was that big pile of presents waiting to be opened by the birthday boy or girl.

Nowadays things can be a lot more extravagant and costly.  

This year we decided to keep it very simple for our daughter...just like the parties I went to as a kid.  Balloons, party hats, chocolate cake, scavenger hunt and prizes.  Sweet and simple.
