Family Birthday Party

We hosted the family birthday party for Whitney (10) and Katie Beth (4) at our house this year. When I went to pick up the cake at COSTCO, I was shocked to find a plain white cake with very plain writing "Happy Birthday Whitney and Katie Beth"....I proceeded to tell the decorator that she had made a mistake, because I had ordered a princess cake....she showed me my order form and oopsie, I didn't make the box by the princess cake...hmmmm why can't people read my mind? COSTCO has amazing customer service and do you know what that lady did? She took my cake, scraped off the icing and redecorated it right there!!!! It was a nice time of being together. The kids all played nicely and we actually got to have some uninterrupted adult conversation! I was supposed to purchase a pull string pinata since we no longer have real trees...oopsie, I messed up and bought a whacking-type pinata...what to do, what to do? John came up with a solution...take the kids to the dirt hill behind out neighborhood where there is lots of construction equipment and tie it up there! BINGO...white-trashy or rednecked, not sure which, but it worked!
