Birthday Parties and Cinderella

Last night we attended a birthday party for the twins in McKenzie's class at Mt. Sinai. It was held at a local park and the spread of food, which was prepared on the spot on a grill, was impressive. There were dozens of cousins and family friends in attendance. When it became too dark to see, we left after having a great time and fabulous food. I was expecting the regular birthday fare of hot dogs and chips, but Stephanie and Tim had ribs, chicken, hot dogs, the greatest potato salad I have ever tasted that was hand prepared by Grandma Cookie, baked beans, and castle birthday cake.

There was a face painter by the name of Kiwi the Clown, who we will be in touch with for our next party. The girls looked beautiful!








There was a pinata, which explained why my purse weighed 50lbs when we tried to leave the party. CANDY!



The playground was great. Here is Madison on her favorite piece of equipment.

The food, as I mentioned, was fabulous. Kim was very impressed. We all enjoyed dinner, except for Morgan who stuck with formula.



Today we visited the Scotish Rite Temple Children's Theater for the production of Cinderella. I have wanted to take the girls for years, but it has never worked out. The girls loved it! We had so much fun! Our neighbors even came with us to make the afternoon even more fun. The children sat around the stage and were invited to take part at different times. It was a great experience and we will definitely go back.




Madison and McKenzie stood in line for autographs, like this one from Gus the Mouse.




Of course, Morgan was thrilled when we came home. Here she is, always with a smile.
