We just celebrated Chloe's 11th birthday. She wanted to have just a family party this year (fine by me, so much easier!). Chloe loves to watch movies; either on the big screen or just at home. So we decided a movie theme it would be for her party. I ordered her stuff, I thought early enough. I picked the standard shipping thinking - those jerks, they just want to charge me an extra $12 for 3-5 day shipping, and I'll probably get the stuff around the same time with either shipping right? WRONG! We didn't even get her party supplies until it was a week after her birthday. I felt so bad, what a mother I am - thank goodness Chloe's a good sport and let us celebrate her on two different nights. The night before her birthday she and her dad went to see Coraline. Then on the day of her birthday, Feb. 8 - she opened gifts, we had movie theater food (hot dogs, nachos, soda and slushies) and finished with carmel popcorn and a movie.
I always forget to make sure my flash is working before I take a picture, I'm not much of a photographer.
Here we are a week later with a popcorn cake and our Oscar party supplies. What's up with that pained smile?
Chloe handing out her party favors to her brother and sister, and to a few family friends. A shout out from her dad, "Chloe you're a beautiful young lady, and so much fun to hang out with. I enjoy spending time with you, be it movies, tv, games or just talking. You are an exceptional girl and I love you."
