Claire has talked about having a party for her Bitty Baby (named Bitty...Claire is very original when it comes to naming her dolls and animals) for a veeeeerrrrry long time. Apparently Bitty's birthday is on the first day of fall. My little party-planner-in-the-making starting decorating the house with colorful pipe cleaner chains several weeks beforehand and was so excited when the day finally came. While she and Max were at school, I decorated the table for the occasion and we had a little party when they got home. Dusty Crophopper made an appearance as Max's special friend for the party. We enjoyed some cupcakes, sang Happy Birthday, opened homemade presents, and played some party games. Ahhhh, to have the imagination of a child again.
