The Phoenix grands have such inconvenient birthdays that one is often reminded how glad we are to have them whenever they arrived. So the parents just set an arbitrary day to celebrate. We were able to arrange our lives to be there for this years bash, which the perfect kids' party.
For starters the food was perfect. Papa John's delivered just the right amount of Pizza (7 pizzas: 3 pepperoni, 2 sausage one cheese and one mushroom) for adults and children. Another cheese and one less sausage would have been even more perfect. The Mom insisted that one green salad mix would do the trick even if the neurotic Grandma was thinking more and low and behold the mom knows more than the Grandma.
Grandpa and Grandma cut up a huge bowl of fruit-2 1/2 gallons Grandpa thinks. We used Grandma's old trick of alternately cutting a cup or so of each type straight into the bowl so that one never stirs and the fruit holds up much better. There was one cup of fruit left at the end. the perfect amount!
There was water for the kids and pop for the adults--permits are needed for alcohol and the parents decided that it really isn't necessary for a noon-time kids party.
