After Breanna’s birthday party today I realize I must be getting old. Once upon a time I could party it up until the wee hours with no trouble at all. For years now, we’ve always combined kids’ parties with adults getting together too, since we’re all one big group of friends with kids of similar ages.

Tonight, Breanna is in bed sleeping, Hayley is in bed trying to avoid sleep, most people are gone, and only a few of George’s friends remain. I could swear that it’s midnight at least and it’s not even 11 pm yet. Although part of me wants to crawl into bed, I think I’ll make a cup of tea, eat a slice of the Caillou cake I made, clean up a few last things, and then hit the pillow.

Plenty of pictures will be on the way at some point, but first I must sleep to recover from my little one’s party!

(I’m participating in Holidailies, an entry a day throughout December with occasional time off due to holidays if necessary, so if an entry a day in November wasn’t enough, now you get even more.)
