3rd Birthday- take 1

Today was Eliot's third birthday party with all of his little friends- Sammy, Nicky, Keira, and Aggelos, as well as 4 assorted baby siblings, and 4 other moms.  His party was wonderful.  I was expecting CHAOS, and was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly well-behaved all of the kids were, and how well everyone played together.  Not one fight over a toy, injury, or scream, and Ivy even consented to letting my friend Didine tote her around for almost the whole party!

Chips, salsa, guacamole, and cake were served, to widespread general approval.  English, French, and Greek were overheard in all corners of the apartment.  The 3ish year old crowd was extremely self-entertaining, and the babies were all content to crawl amongst the adults.

Thank you to all of our friends for making Eliot's special day so wonderful, and a special thanks to Didine and Carey for helping in the clean-up efforts after.


(That is a TRAIN on the cake... you just have to squint a bit...)

Party time!

Looks like fun. It does look like a train. It's just kinda sideways in the picture. Nice work! LJ
