Mei Li's birthday party

Today we hosted Mei Li's first friend birthday party. I probably won't do this every year, but it was a good learning experience. Mei Li chose to have a flower-themed birthday party, which was a very easy theme to work with.

In the planning stages of the birthday party, I told Steve, "I really like to feed people."

"Gee, I wonder where you got that from," he replied, referring to my mom's desire and need to feed each person that she meets.

Here was our menu:

chicken salad croissant sandwiches (for the adults)
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
grilled cheese sandwiches
watermelon
strawberries
raspberry lemonade

Activities:
decorating flower pots
the flower walk (like a cake walk)
eating

Favors:
a flower lollipop
sunflower seed packet
homemade flower hair clip
flower lei

Thanks to her old friends who all drove half an hour or more to be here. Mei Li had a great time.
