Friend Birthday Party!

So, apparently we have 5 year olds now. I'm not sure how it happened. But it did. AND IT IS AWESOME. I love five. It is a great age.

The kids had a gymnastics party for their friends the Sunday before their birthday. We had the party at the gym where both kids went to camp last summer and where Colin takes classes every week. It was such an easy party from a parent perspective. All I did was fill in the invitation that they gave me, take drinks, cake, and chips, and pay. PERFECT.

Colin and Gillian and C's bff J.D.
 
 

The gym workers RAN those kids for an HOUR. It was fantastic.
 
 
 

The cake I made! I am so dang proud of that Minion.
 

CAKE!

We know Gillian has a sweet tooth. She comes from a long line of dessert eaters. While we had that nasty virus a few weeks ago, Aunt Cedes and Uncle D came over for dinner and brought a cake with them. G had an upset stomach, and we didn't think cake was prudent. I promised her that when she felt better, we'd have cake. She was ok with that and proceeded to be sick for the next week, so no cake.

One day, ten days after our initial bargain, Gillian looked at me and said, "Me feel better, have cake now." Ummm, ok, I had forgotten about that. Obviously, she had not. We were headed up to GraGra's the next day, so I told G that we would have cake there.

GraGra was quite happy to provide her special little Bean with CAKE!


Gillian ate 3 pieces while we were visiting. She got her moneys worth, anyway!
