birthday party

FABJ had her 5th birthday party a few weeks back.

Cupcakes (part 1)

At first, we were worried that we would have enough kids for FABJ at the party.

Then, a few days before, we had dinner with a good friend of LBJs (and her husband, of course).  She was going to be in the neighborhood in charge of four boys.  So, of course, we invited them to the party.

The party began with FABJ and a few friends going to see "Brave".  Aside from one scary bear scene, it was enjoyable.  She quite liked the archery parts.  One of her favorite parts of sports camp was archery.

Then, they came back and we were joined by a few more people, including the four boys mentioned above.

The weather was good (i.e. not raining), so the boys ran loose in the garden.  ORBJ had the attention of the for boys' chaperone (who was happy to have a girl for a bit).

The adults seemed to enjoy themselves with the devised by FBJ.

Most importantly, FABJ had fun.  (And we did, too.)
