A Groovy Party

The day after Kylee's birthday she woke up feeling SO much better.  So she finally got to celebrate herself.  I let her pick what she wanted for breakfast and was not surprised when she asked me to make her crepes with strawberries and whip cream.  She was so excited for them and so thankful for them.

Kylee didn't want a "friends" birthday party.  She is an extremely shy kid who doesn't want many people in her life.  She loves her family and that's about it.  When I told her we were having a party and asked her who she wanted to invite she started naming her aunts and uncles and my friends. Luckily I talked her into inviting some of the kids from her classes at church and school.  

Then when we went to the store to start picking out a theme she surprised me again by going totally out of the ordinary for an eight year-old and picked a Tie Dye/Hippie party.  She is such a cute girl with the cutest personality.  I actually loved the idea and we decided we would even tie dye t-shirts with her guests at the party.  She had kids and adults at her party and it was such a great time.  

And the shirts came out totally AWESOME!!!  

I was amazed at how different and cool each one was.  

She was spoiled with a ton of really great presents from really great people.  

And when it was all over she told me it was perfect and the best birthday ever.  

I really have felt bad Kylee never really has wanted a birthday party but after throwing her one I realized they are a ton of work and maybe it hasn't been too bad not doing this in the past.  :)  

I would do anything for that little girl though.  She is such a great kid!!!
