Happy Fifth Birthday, Larkin!!!

Whew! It has been a day. Larkin had her birthday party this afternoon at a new play center in Austin called Catch Air. We had a great turn out, and the staff did all the set up and take down. So it was a win all around. About the only mishaps were a miscommunication about the number of kids we would have, resulting in a smaller room and lack of seating. And then our "party coordinator" asked me if I cared how she set up the candles on the cake. I said I didn't care, meaning I didn't care where on the cake she put them. She evidently took that to mean "put all the candles all over the cake" rather than to just use 5 candles. So poor Larkin had to do a little extra huffing and puffing.
The party place had an underwater theme, so I put crazy fish masks in the goody bags. The kids seemed to like them. We are all exhausted and proud of our five year old!
