Party prep in full swing

We've been busy getting ready for Madeline's party tomorrow. It seems hosting a theme party at home is quite a bit of work, but it's also a lot of fun. The kids are very excited and I like working on the details. (At the same time, I remember exactly why we elected to have parties elsewhere the past four years!) We have already put up some decorations and I will bake the cake tonight after the girls are in bed. Tomorrow morning will be filled with party prep as well, but I'm confident it will all be worthwhile!

Today I'm thankful for:

  • help from my family
  • enthusiasm
  • coffee

This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
