Spoiler Alert: We Set Her Hair On Fire

April 14, 2013 by Adam in Ben

It was quite the birthday party for Berry yesterday.  We've all been sick, but we managed to go all-out on the Wizard 101 themed decorations.  There were Harry Potter glasses, a Wizard 101 cake, and a Unicorn-themed Happy Birthday sign.  The horde of children arrived, along with a few adults who stayed.  We gave the adults wine, chocolate covered strawberries, and board game recommendations.  The kids got pinata bashing, playing in the backyard, and lots of cake and ice cream.

Berry had a good time overall, despite the fact that the relighting candles ended up being a fire hazard that set her hair briefly ablaze.  Fortunately no one had time to be terrified, as one of the dads had lighting-like reflexes and put it out immediately.

It's her actual birthday today, and we'll have a smaller gift exchange with just the family.  I think Berry is happy to finally be six, as she's seemed like a big kid for some time now.
