Yesterday afternoon Missy invited me to go to a "bow party" with her. Now, I'm not the kind of person that throws a "skull-crusher" on a newborn. I don't need to fear an allergic reaction to cheap lace by my 3 week old. And I'm not into frilly girl stuff, and I will give away clothes that have glitter quicker than you can say "rash." But there is something sweet about putting bows in my little girl's hair when she finally gets enough hair to do it. Maybe it comes from my mom never being able to get my pigtails even, or having to teach myself to french-braid my own hair, but I want to do Britton's hair and I want it to be cute. I just won't be buying any of those GIGANTIC bows that send babies to the pediatric chiropractor.
So, we went and had a great time! There were tons of bows, adorable onesies, hats, flowers, and hair bow holders. We played games and I even won some items. Missy and I treated ourselves to peanut butter M&Ms and cupcakes, and there were these cream cheese and tortilla roll-up things I ate all afternoon long. Then Courtney, who put on the party, taught us how to make bows. But I think I'll be leaving it up to the experts!
