So the deal was this:
Annie wanted a birthday party, with her classmates invited. I suggested that she just go for a movie with a couple of best friends, but she did have her heart set on a party at the condo.
So I said that if Sidekick did in fact, return from her 'holiday' back in Indonesia, we could have the party. If however, she did not return, I didn't think I could handle a party with a dozen or so hyperactive pre-teens. Moreover, it was to be a pool party, and I would have to work extra hard in keeping tabs on each and everyone of them!
What happened was, of course, Sidekick did not return. The good thing though, is that two days later, we got New Sidekick!! So, I granted Annie her wish for a birthday party. Though I told her she could only invite 15 of her classmates and not her whole class of 20+!
I supposed this would most probably be one of her last pool parties, as she may soon turn into a moody teenager who thinks pool parties are 'lame' and 'for babies'!! hahaha...
So anyway, on Sunday, we had the party at the condo poolside. It was a combination party, for both Annie and cousin Allyson, as their birthdays are only 6 days apart. It was a tiring day, but it was worth all the effort to see the children so happy! Annie loved having her friends over and of course enjoyed the many gifts her friends brought as well as the ang pows from family!
