Party Girl!

Kealan's birthday is on Tuesday, though we celebrated with friends yesterday. It was her 4th Birthday Luau, and perhaps the last - she is now expressing interest in deciding her own party themes. I told her that next year she could choose whatever she wanted and that I would do my best. Who knows - she might just choose a Luau (or "Ooh-Lah Party" as K says)! I think it was a great success! Everyone seemed to have a great time, and the only tears came when it was time to leave - a good sign! I know my kids had a blast and that's the main objective.

This was the first time she blew the candles out herself (with a little help from Gibbers, of course)!

The "Roasted Pig" is a given!

That night we were off to another birthday party - my niece Mara is turning 12 this week! Yikes, where'd the time go? Needless to say, my kids were fried by the time we got home - fried, but very happy! As K and I were saying her prayers last night, she asked why her cousins live so far away (Sammamish). I answered, "Because their house is 45 minutes away." To which she replied, "I want them to be 45 minutes close, Mommy."
