Birthday Parties: Fun for all!
Now that my daughter has turned 1 year old, I have been thinking about what to do about her future birthdays. She has some ideas and wanted to share them with her Mommy's NetworkforMoms.org friends. She has created a list of ideas for her next 20 birthday parties and is very particular about the venues and themes.
I hope my fellow moms enjoy the list below that my daughter has put together, she has spent a lot of time finessing this list for her parents to follow.
"Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you my list of party ideas. I have been working on this list for a very long time. As I celebrate my next 20 birthdays, all of my friends are invited to join me and catch the birthday spirit! hee-hee!"
