Birthday Party with the Smallest Guests
I had a house full of miniature mommies this weekend. Or little mommies in training, to be more precise.
My daughter turned eight years old last week, and by now, we’ve had our fair share of birthday parties. We’ve done the big ones, the small ones, the Build-a-Bear ones (twice), the gymnastics ones, the list goes on. Because she is a January baby, we have always avoided large birthday parties at our home. Wet winter weather means indoor parties, and the idea of 15-20 children in our cozy house was a little too much. But we’ve never done the big slumber party. And you guessed it – this year, that was her birthday wish.
Not just a regular sleepover, mind you, but an American Girl-themed sleepover. And I fell in love with the idea. Because, really, you can’t get any girlier than that.
So, last weekend was the big slumber party, and I knew I had to be prepared. I did make her pare down her guest list considerably and figured I could handle six little, giggly, doll-obsessed eight-year-olds quite well. But advance preparation was key, and I did my best to map out the entire evening of activities. And you know what? They were fantastic. Just a great group of girls; they made everything quite easy for me. Each guest brought her favorite doll or stuffed animal, and we kicked off the celebration with a minikin dinner party, with pint-sized portions for the girls and, naturally, matching miniature portions for their beloved doll companions.
Buttermilk Maple Pancake Muffins
For breakfast the following morning, I knew I wanted to continue the mini-me theme, but was a little uncertain about which direction to head. Savory bacon and eggs (and quail eggs for the dolls)? Our traditional Sunday pancakes? I decided that muffins were the easiest and most efficient way to feed my little army of mommies, but did not want to sacrifice our Sunday breakfast tradition. So… I put the pancake into the muffin.
My Buttermilk Maple Pancake Muffins were a hit with my slumber princesses, and with the tolerant little brother and daddy of the birthday girl as well . The boys liked them because they were not too sweet. I liked that they tasted great not only plain, but also paired great with sweet jams or savory cheese (my preference).
I packaged up the extra pancake muffins for the girls to take home, but of course, kept some for myself. They were my special treat the following day, with my cup of afternoon coffee. In quiet solitude.
