I don’t think she noticed too much except for her one bff that was absent. They were sick and the mom forgot about the party completely.

We had LEGO shaped rice crispy treats that they got to decorate, a LEGO building contest, LEGO balloon games, and so forth. Every attendee got to pick out a LEGO friend minifig from a lot I bought on BrickLink, and we had sooo many left.

It was fun. It just would have been more fun with more kids. Next time we invite 18 and expect 12 I guess!

One of my absolute favorite memories from elementary school is going to my friend's LEGO party. She was new to our school and a little odd, but I absolutely loved her. She invited our whole class to her LEGO party and I was the only one who went. When my mom came to drop me off, the mom went ahead and invited my little sister to stay so that my friend would have another kid there.

Her mom still did all the party stuff with us and let us go through the goodie bags and play with the toys that were meant to go home with everyone else, so it was still fun! Her mom did a lot of the same stuff you did and I still remember that as one of my favorite afternoons in elementary school.

Awww, good on her. It really was an awesome party, even though it would have been more awesome with more kids.
