For weeks she had been thinking about and planning her birthday celebration. She wanted a Harry Potter birthday. She made invitations even though the only people coming were mom, dad and siblings. Everyone got an invitation to "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry". They also were assigned a character name and received a train ticket for platform 9 3/4.
I was content to let her have her fun and be done with it, but when there are many siblings, there is a lot of input especially when it comes to the youngest.
So, Amanda pulled up Pinterest on my computer, searched Harry Potter themed birthday parties, and then left for school.
Thankfully, she, Caitlyn and Josh got home in time to help pull off a little surprise. The birthday girl got home from school to find:
Harry Potter glasses and Quidditch broom goodie bags,
wizard hat cupcakes,
presents wrapped like school books,
a wizard hat and her own train ticket.
The look on her face was priceless. The party was a huge success and she got just what she wanted for her gifts: Disney Fairies, and a special pan in which to bake cake and brownie pops. Ten down and one more to go for the year. In less than a month, we will have a 12 year old. I wonder if I can find some One Direction party ideas on Pinterest!
