4th Birthday party...

Maya's 4th birthday party was a blast!  As we were going to be away in Kelowna for her actual birthday, we decided to have the party a week early.  Maya got to pick who she wanted to come to her party and, because of the wide age spread (4-12), we chose a splatter painting party.  Besides our regular gang of kids, she chose 3 boys from pre-school.  One of them has been her boyfriend since last fall.  (Are 3-year-olds supposed to have an 8-month-long relationship? That's longer than some adult relationships!)

The kids had so much fun 'throwing' paint, squirting paint, spinning paint and just getting really messy.  The end results have yet to be seen (sealing the canvases) but what we saw on the day looked pretty great. 

The post-painting party involved snack food, wraps, chips & dip and a Thomas cup-cake Cake (she's a tom-boy).  There may have been a bottle or two of wine and a case or so of beer for the adults, but we won't dwell on that.

The day was a great success and something I would definitely recommend to others...
