The Birthday Party Weekend
Last weekend was the weekend of birthday parties. Soren was invited to three, count 'em, three birthday parties last weekend. Wow.
One of the moms requested "Please, no gifts." and another mom said "No need for a gift, but if you bring something please consider doing something home-made." So we did. It was really terrific. Soren had so much fun planning on what to make and then actually making the gifts himself.
I think it is a tradition that we might adopt from now on. Look at his proud little face as the mother compliments him on the crown he made for the birthday girl.
It was a weekend of tasty party snacks.
Party pinatas...
...filled with the requisite yummy treats.
Even planting birthday plants!
And, of course, singing birthday songs and eating cake...
...and playing silly birthday games.
But, mostly, it was just nice to have so many friends who let you help them celebrate their birthday.
