Johnny was having a rough morning, and Emma decided we should cheer him up by throwing a birthday party for his owie doll! We made simple party hats by taping sheets of construction paper into cone shapes and putting foam stickers on the front. I was going to decorate the whole thing with stickers, but minimalist Emma decided they should just have each child’s first initial. They do look nice that way. =)
We cut out some simple shapes to make plates, green cake (can you guess Johnny’s favorite color?), and glasses. It kept all three kids busy for a while – and, best of all, pulled Johnny into a much happier mood. Thank you, Emma!

I bet he loved this! This is such a fun idea! Jack would have been on top of the world if we’d done this for him. So sweet Mary Anne, and Emma is the sweetest sister in the world to think of this!
