I have found that as my children get older there are more negotiations involved in planning for their parties. When I started brainstorming for this party the spa menu included fresh vegetable and turkey wraps we ended up with a two foot long ham, turkey and cheese hoagie.

It was close to midnight when the girls were ready for snacks and we were tired enough that we just recycled the fruit tray.
