Friend Party

On Saturday, we had a few of Sydney's friends over for a party. Guests were the Ghos, Stephens, Babcocks, Darbys and Auntie Liz! For a few weeks prior, I had been asking Sydney was she wanted to do for her birthday and the most consistent answers were Mickey Mouse stuff, color, dance, open presents, and eat cake. So as her guests arrived, we let them all color Mickey Mouse pictures. Then we did a dancing game to the "Hot Dog Dance," decorated Mickey sugar cookies, had a little treasure hunt to find "Mickey's" treats, and then had cupcakes. Sydney's favorite was the treasure hunt. She loves exploring and looking for things. She really enjoyed having her friends over and was sad to see them leave so soon. She wanted someone to play with her presents with afterwards. Maybe we'll try to do something like that next year. It is fun to see her start to prefer other kids and learn to play better with her friends.
