We had the BEST 4th Birthday Party for our little one last week!!! It definitely didn't look like it came off of a birthday party blog or anything, but she LOVED it and that's what counts! After all of our guests had left and after jumping on the rented princess castle bouncer for another 3 hours, she gave me the biggest hug ever and told me how she loved her party. THAT, made all of the planning and running around completely worth it!
At the party, she was so excited to open all of her presents, and, of course, we encouraged her to say, "Thank You!" to each person for her gifts. But, like most preschoolers, she was overwhelmed and excited and had so many other things to think about that I'm not for sure that the "thank you's" were completely sincere.
The next day, she looked through each of her new gifts and made for sure that she knew who each one was from. She admired all of them for quite some time and said how much she loved them all.
I wanted to send thank you cards to everyone and first thought of those cute picture cards. Ya know, the ones like everyone sends for Christmas? I started to make some online and then realized that Macy had nothing to do with the process, so I deleted them and off we went to the craft room.
We just used plain construction paper, and then she drew a picture on each one and also added a few stickers. The pictures were relevant to each person and completely decided on by Macy. For some she drew the gift that she was given by that person, but for some she chose to draw something meaningful for the person it was meant for. Then, she told me what she wanted to say to each person, and I wrote it down for her. Simple as that! Thank you cards from the heart of a preschooler! Precious!
