Melissa 5th bday

There was once time when kid's birthday partys took place at the family home. Perhaps money for not so plentiful or perhaps parents did not realize they needed to outdo so and so's party since this was a pre instagram era. At any rate, for my 6th (ish) birthday, I had a birthday at home with all my neighborhood friends over. The most important things i remember from that birthday was the shock and delight that the picnic table and two long benches were brought in from outside and put in the bottom of out split level house (I had no idea that Could be done!!!) And the beautiful Barbie birthday cake mom made. Big dome shaped cake to resemble her dress and Barbie stuck right down in the middle. I was thrilled!
