Catching up

We had a big party for Z on Saturday afternoon last weekend. There were all kinds of kids, a great big cake with Tinkerbell on top, and of course, lots of presents. We were lucky to have some extra-special guests -- friends from the lounge! Maia and QiuQiu are local, so we see them every now & then, but not nearly often enough. But also in attendance were Mike & Piper, all the way from Minnesota (they didn't come just for the party; Mike was here for business & to visit his folks). We were really excited to meet Mike & Piper, and only sorry that Hayley & Paisley couldn't be here too. Next summer, Hayley! Party pix from the big birthday bash:

hey...see you next year! Sorry we couldnt come, but four of us at once can be overwhelming! As you know from Piper and her amazing ability to make it 'all about me'!

Sorry bout the 'helping'...had I been there I would have made her step back a little rather than 'helping unwrap'...like her Charlie & Lola DVD's, one episode is aptly named

"but excuse me, this is my party"

get the drift?

BTW...loving the hot pink, brown orange ensembles...we love that combo too! very Shanghai chic!
