my girl's first annual halloween party

my girl avery came to me last week and said, "mommy i have a great idea,

let's throw a halloween party!" my thought was, "oh my gosh not another party."

i was just putting the finishing touches on her birthday party. but, not wanting to

squash her creativity and her ideas i decided that i would let her throw her

first halloween party. and i mean - let her. i agreed with her that it was a great

idea, but because i was busy with her birthday party, she would have to do all of it

on her own. well this opened a whole new door for her - now she was excited.

she could plan everything and mama wouldn't say a word. much to my surprise she

did all of it. she was allowed to pick 6 things to serve at her party, she made all

of the decorations, picked a sound track for the party, and made up all of the

games. of course, when the party day arrived i helped her get things together,

but that was it she did the rest. she was a great hostess and all of her guest had

a great time. take a look...
