Last weekend we hosted a birthday party at our home to celebrate my kids turning four years old. We had an "Under the Sea" theme--my first effort at having a themed party of any sort--and made loose reference to the theme throughout with octopus-covered party invitations, blue and green party decorations, and water-focused activities (a slip and slide and wading pool kept the kids happy for hours). The crowning glory? The cake, of course. Because what's a birthday party without cake? This year I made cupcakes actually, and decorated them to look like fish. They were a hit! Not surprisingly, the kids were especially delighted to pick out their favorite colors to feast on.
Putting this whole thing together gave me pause to think about how we try so hard to create magic for our children.
