Siena turned 3 on November 3rd. We enjoyed a quiet evening together the evening of her actual birthday. We had a party for her that following weekend that despite all the, "Hello Kitty" hexes was a lot of fun. We are convinced that Hello Kitty is bad luck.
The day of the party at 7:30a.m. we got a call from BJ's where we had ordered the Hello Kitty cake 6 weeks earlier. They were calling to tell us that they didn't have any Hello Kitty cakes. What??? So we picked up a cake and put a Hello Kitty candle on top. No big deal.
At 3p.m. the day of the party, Justin went to pick up our food for the 20+ people that were in our kitchen and hungry. The caterer didn't have ANY recollection of our order. They finally did find it in their email but at that point they hadn't prepared our order. We ended up with a BBQ feast instead of the Chicken and Eggplant Parmesan. People seemed happy with the food.
The 3rd strike for Hello Kitty is we had contracted with a local kids musician to come and play for the kids. He never showed up!
The moral of the story is don't plan things 6+ weeks in advance because everyone just forgets about you. I need to make a better effort of being a last minute Nelly....but it drives me crazy!
Siena had a great time at her party and was spoiled rotten by all of her friends and family. Hello Kitty couldn't curse us completely!
