I started hanging up some decorations in the morning. Olivia looked at me with a huge smile and said "Thanks for putting up decorations mommy." Later on she thanked me again for all the decorations...those sweet comments definitely made staying up to finish making flowers and balls out of tissue paper well worth it.
We played pin the nose on the clown. The girls loved this game so much we also played pin the button on the clown and pin the hat on the clown. If it were up to the girls this game would have gone on forever, but we ran out of big red circles to stick on the poster.
The fun didn't stop with the clown poster though, and Olivia enjoyed an impromptu game of hind-and-seek.
Next it was time for the pinata. When I made the pinata I had tried to use as few layers of tissue paper as possible, but after 2 rounds of the girls whacking at the pinata they still hadn't made a dent. We decided it was time to take out the scissors and help them along. The girls were so excited when the pinata broke open and all the of surprises came out.
We let the girls frost and decorate their own individual cupcakes before we sang to Olivia. This made the biggest mess ever, but the girls loved it.
After that the girls danced and played and had a great time. Olivia didn't want the party to end.
