Bryce’s 3rd Birthday!

February 2, 2014 By pgarry

So my honorary granddaughter Bryce’s 3rd birthday was actually on the 29th, but the party was held at Pizzelli’s in Mariemont yesterday.

I’m trying to mentally count – I think there were 8 kids there, from about 7 down to 3 or 3 months old. But most of the kids were right around Bryce’s age. Her mom was so smart in organizing the celebration.

As each child came in with a present, Susan handed them a bag with toys, things to draw – with not a bit of sugar around. So they gave a gift and got a gift. Worked perfectly!

Then, the Pizzeli folk had lots of trays covered in cornmeal, with a round of down on top – and tons of aprons. Another table held toppings, from traditional to apples, caramel, marshmallows. Each attendee got to make and top her/his own pizza. After the kids were all done – the grownups made pizzas, too.

After the eating – it was present opening time. Bryce was a champ at that – and at saying thank you to each gift giver, with really no prompting. Meanwhile, some kids were still eating, some were playing with their toy cars – and then there was the birthday cake – a car theme, with bright blue icing.

And in an hour and a half, it was over. As I said, Susan is really smart. No one had time to get overwrought or wired and overwhelmed. Just a treat of a party – and even some time for conversations here and there! And the Pizzelli’s folk were outstanding in taking care and cleaning up fast. A good time all around.
