She wanted a Teen Titans/Robin/Superhero party (Teen Titans is a t.v. show that has Robin in it). I made the mistake of inviting about 20 four yr olds.

However, blogging ALMOST a week later is still pretty good for me, right?!?!?!?So, back in August Claire turned eight. Our family rule is that eight is the last birthday that you get a big party. So, we decided to go all out. We had a huge tea party and invited over twenty girls.
