One my birthday Stacey and I went to a movie while the kids decorated, set up, and made/wrapped my presents. When we arrived Julia kept things moving, as if we had a schedule to maintain in order to get through the cake, presents, and pictures. The kids assisted with opening their drawings that they had wrapped.
It was a big party. So much so that Jonathan and Julia fell asleep in the car on the way home. We all think Julia had just as much fun throwing a party for me as having one herself.
