Just watch.

Some silly party games. Enjoy!

And, Rock Out!

So, Nonie’s birthday extravaganza started with a wonderful evening silkscreening beach bags with Jessica, Isaac and Yoko. Followed by pizza and presents. She had a special birthday ceremony at big girl school, and cake and singing at Lifeways. We then hit the kite festival and got very good at flying kites (no pictures as all hands were needed for the kites). And then, the big party — the theme of which was “Make Summer Arrive.” For a while it worked and we got to have almost two weeks in which it was warmer than 65/20 for the first time since September. It didn’t last, but for the birthday celebrations we actually got to be hot. We got to decorate flip flops, paint beach bags, learn to hula hoop, bash a pinata, and do silly fun things all afternoon. Then, as the lead in to Daddy’s birthday bash, Nonie got to dance and celebrate one more time.

Thank you to all of Nonie’s fantastic family and fabulous friends for making her fifth such a great and memorable event. Thank you for spoiling her and loving her and playing with her! She had a great time!
