Since Katie's birthday lands in the Summer, the years in which we have a full on birthday party, we will celebrate it prior to school ending, so her friends from school can attend. Particularly since, for the American School in Budapest, many of the students here move on a regular basis or go home or travel somewhere else for the Summer. This obviously makes it hard to have most of her friends available for a party in July.This year, since we were preparing for a move, we had the party at a "paint your own pottery" place in downtown Budapest. I think there were about 25 kids in this little shop with stacks of plates, bowls, etc lining the walls. All this made me VERY nervous, but they all did GREAT. Everyone was, for the most part, civil and calm, and not until the end of the party did it even get remotely rowdy. The kids all painted their own plate before having pizza and cake. And it was great to have a few of the parents stick around and help ensure order was maintained.
Katie is the sweetest little girl I know and just gets sweeter every year that passes.
