Parties

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

My cousin’s daughter is turning thirteen later this month.  She was talking to me on the phone asking me for kids birthday party ideas to help her plan her daughter’s birthday party.  We were talking about the best birthday parties we’ve ever been to, and the parties that we would have loved to have.  The best parties I’ve ever been to involved getting the kids involved in simple but fun games where everyone won prizes!  I think if I were to have had the ideal birthday party, it would have been when I was in third grade and I would have invited several girl friends over and had a fairy themed party.

Or maybe when I was a teenager and I could invite boys and girls, and have a pizza parlor themed party!  I was looking at a website called celebrations.com to come up with some ideas for my cousin’s party.  I saw that it was a website where readers can share their ideas and experiences and recipes for ideas on a wide variety of parties, for kids AND adults, birthday or anniversary or retirement, or graduation, or showers – whatever party reason you can think of! 

I got side tracked reading about the fairy birthday party ideas; they sounded like a lot of fun for a little girl’s party!
