Niki's Big Day

All week I was working up to this day. I broke down the tasks into the 3 days and was pretty well sticking to it, even though I didn't feel like it. Right now Niki doesn't understand, but I don't want him to think in the future that his birthday just gets lost in the holiday season and so I want to make it special.

I dejunked (well, I relocated the junk from rooms people likely will see), I made a red car cake (doesn't really look like Lightning McQueen--oh, well), found games and got them ready, made up party bags, made graham cracker houses for them to decorate, coordinated a booth and made and dressed us in costumes for a church Christmas party called "A Night in Bethlehelm" on Friday evening (where this all occured):

Just to get a terrible virus on Saturday morning where I it was coming out both ends and I had to cancel the kids party. Günter did agree to go ahead with his family dinner in the evening and I would stay in bed, so Niki got a little party.

Mercifully it seems to be only a 24 hour virus (and that seems to fit what Niki had on our trip) so I am well now. I decided to have the party tomorrow (Monday) as a make-up because the cake is still good.

I stayed home from church today and when Günter came home he was sick, so I guess Jenna is next. Oh joy, and this week is just as hectic as well as next week. I can't wait for things to get back to a slower pace.
