I have Now Thrown a Birthday Party Again. Phew.

And I think I can do this sort of thing some more.
We had hide and go seek
computers available in a public space
Lots of Chinese Take out
Parents and younger siblings hung out all over the apartment.  We did "electronically sedate" them with the movie "UP" when they got really excited though
That was not too bad.  I haven’t even tried a party since M was born.  But now I know I have to do something like it in March for M.  Somehow 7 year olds seem scarier than 12 year olds plus family…but that’s quite a while away.
