Still playing catchup from the weekend.
The Pokemon cake Hannah made from scratch was a triumph. Camilla, now eight, blew out the candles on the first try. For the first time in my life I heard kids refuse cake because they said they'd had too much sugar already. They preferred eating candy from the Pokemon pinata. Crazed, they wrapped Hannah's cousin in crepe paper until she was mummified and ran around the house playing war. Camilla said the war was her favorite part. There were many relatives including Hannah's brother Simon, now taller than she, and newly moved to Providence for school. It was a tough day for dogs and little brothers.

| Ruca is terrified of balloons, making birthdays a nightmare for her. After being released from the bedroom, she tore around the yard for a while and sank, exhausted into bed. |

| Isaac was a pretty good sport, but it was tough having his sister be the center of attention. And his own birthday two weeks before seems to have given him a taste for opening presents. The day after the party, everyone was exhausted and coming down with colds. |
I wish I had been there.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought when I saw the picture of Simon with Hannah was "OMG. This kid should be in movies. He's gorgeous! ".
He has the kind of looks young girls these days love. Zac Efron, with a twist of James Dean. Naughty but nice.
Go for it, Simon. I know at least one casting agent in New York. And besides...your sister, Hannah, IS Angelina Jolie. You're all set. XXXX B
Pretty pleased to know about the birthday party. Crazy animal theme of my nephew was liked by all guests. One of the famous event space Chicago was booked as it was easy to locate for all. Orange and black color was used for décor. Cake was cute indeed. All kids were happy enjoying with props and dancing on rocking music.
