The "Just Because" Party

Emma has been asking for months to have a party. Finally, Timothy caved and yesterday, she had her party. She wanted to invite everyone she knew, and also one person she didn't know (seriously, she said she wanted to go to someone's house that we don't know and invite their kids. I was like, which house? She didn't know. But she was die hard. How do you explain how weird that would be to a four year old?). Anyway, we let her have four friends, at least one for Kaylee. It turned out pretty good. Everyone had fun and our house wasn't too badly trashed after.
Here we are playing musical chairs. The two year old's didn't quite get it. Kaylee would not leave her seat. But the big kids had fun dancing around them.

Eating cake. What's a party without cake?

Coloring in dress-ups. Always have to be in dress-ups.

Emma saw a commercial on one of the cartoon channels that said to make a video of you singing a song and send it in and it could be on tv. So, of course, everyone had to sing a song. They loved picking their outfits and making a movie though. It was cute. However, I didn't press the button hard enough at the end so you see our floor and my hand for a second. Sorry. Please forgive the technologically impaired mother. (I promise it felt like those awkward times when the parents bring in the huge old camcorder and film like, the kid's breakup or something, and they forget to turn it off so there's this totally awkward footage... do you know what I'm talking about? Anyway...)
