I think I have finally recuperated enough from my youngest daughter's 13th birthday bash last weekend to blog a bit about it.

The party itself (included 18 kids) was a huge success. All of the guests seemed to enjoy themselves, and my daughter said it was epic!

We rented out a room at a local community center, and for four hours danced, played games, and stuffed ourselves with pizza, chips, candy, and cupcakes.

There was a lot of planning that went into this party (something I had wanted to do for the youngest for a long time) and was blessed to have the help, and assistance, of my hubby for baking 35 cupcakes, setting up the sound system, ordering four party pizzas, and generally lifting, carrying, hanging decorations, and all the other odd jobs no one thinks about, but has to be done, my eldest kiddo Steph, and my niece Sam (pictured above) who both helped Dee-Jay, and run the games, and finally both my sister, and BF Lisa for helping out, and taking tons of pics, and video for us to remember in years to come. And of course ALL of them for helping with the clean-up afterwards!

Help and assistance freely, and lovingly given is a great blessing indeed.
