As is becoming the tradition, we had multiple birthday parties to celebrate the fact that Mendel turned 5.
Of course we had to have a little something special on the day itself, even though it was a regular Monday and the day before we left for our vacation.
Alyssa and Caitlin came over..........
Then on the 23th of August, we had a family party with the aunts, uncles and grandparents. The weather wasn't cooperating so we spent most of the party inside. On times like this, it's good to have a small family.
But her REAL party, with all her friends, was on the 30th of August. She had a joined birthday party with Louise who turned 4 (daughter of our friends and a very good friend of Mendel). We rented a pink bouncing castle, decorated with pink/white balloons, made a face painting booth, had a "wand-making" activity, of course the regular swing and trampoline and two hostess moms dressed up as princesses.... did I mention it's a princess party"...?
We were so lucky with the weather! It was the warmest day of the week, lots of sun, and it stayed warm till late in the evening (hence the BBQ that followed).
