Last Sunday, we went to a birthday party for a friend of my oldest sons who was turning 5. What was so funny about this type of event is that, it's not just five year olds attending this party... the range of kids was from 12 months to 10 years old (about, I can't remember how old Hannah is) which makes for some crazy planning.

Why is it when it's time to have cake and ice cream the kids will actually crawl up your person to get their piece?

SERVING ICE CREAM:

When serving ice cream, about an hour before the guests arrive, dish up a scoop of ice cream into cupcake paper sleeves and place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer until it's time to serve. Not only do you not have the mess, but it's super fast getting out the cake and ice cream...

I would have to bet, if I know Laura, she got this tip from Family Fun Magazine... a treasure trove of ideas for family fun!
