November marks the beginning of birthday season in the Streeter household! Lyndsi and I both have birthdays in November, Dylan's is in December and Steve's is in January.
We had Lyndsi's party today - Imagine 10 little girls for 3 hours...... I didn't have to do a thing! Best party I ever planned :) Lyndsi and her 2 best friends all have birthdays within 3 weeks of each other so this year their moms and I gave a combo birthday party. We "bought" this party at an auction last spring so someone else did all the planning and preparation. All we had to do was provide a cake and show up! The best part was that the party was given by Lyndsi's preschool teacher and it was held at the preschool itself!
In 3 hours the girls danced, broke a pinata, painted nails, made body glitter, played games, popped balloons, opened presents, ate cake and laughed and laughed and laughed! What a fabulous day! We all felt pretty lucky to have been able to give this to the kids.
My birthday was a couple of weeks ago. Guess how old I am...... Yep, it was a big one! Robyn, Kim, Steve and my parentst collaborated and planned a wine tasting party and invited all my Okanogan friends. We had so much fun! Everyone brought a bottle of wine to the party. We then sampled each wine and voted for our favorites. Steve chose a winning white wine from a winery in Wenatchee! I knew I didn't want to plan a party for myself but I'm sure glad someone else thought I should celebrate!
This is when I start to feel the old anticipation of SHOPPING! I love to use the holidays as a reason to get out there and buy gifts for everyone on my list! I also love the holidays because we get to see our families and spend some relaxing time together. We'll be home for Christmas this year but hope to get to Spokane for part of the time off from school. We'll also be able to see everyone at Thanksgiving so I'm really excited about the upcoming week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
