We do a half-birthday party for thank you. We NEVER do more than cake with church and then presents from us and the grandparents on his birthday.
This is his celebration with friends, and presents are totally optional. (The year I requested no presents I had a number of parents tell me that it wasn't fair - because he chooses such nice presents for his friends.) Mostly he just wants to play games and have prizes and goody bags with his friends.
I sent invites to his ENTIRE class of over 25 children.
We have gotten ZERO replies as to who is coming. I have NO clue how many kids will be there.
I am just so scared for him that NO ONE will show up.
But the games and prizes are ready, as are the goody bags.
The cake is cooling, ready to be shaped and iced. The icing will be made shortly.
sigh. We are mostly ready.
Please send good wishes that some of the kids show up. He will be just crushed if only my parents and bro and niece show up.
thanks,
susie
