So we all went to Eloisa’s 5th birthday party this afternoon. It was a princess-themed party. All of the kids were dropped off except for mine. So I got to chat with Susanna, Eloisa’s mom a little bit while things were going on. It was very low key. Relaxing party when you do it from 2:30-4:30. There was a few simple crafts for the kids to do and a very brief snack-juiceboxes, chips, strawberries and very neat princess hat cupcakes. That’s it! Talk about easy and stress free. No decorations of any kind. Edzea and Rohan AND Neve had a great time! My camera battery died at present time. Edzea had picked out the most god-awful princess bean bag chair for Eloisa at Toys R’Us. It was within our budget and she was determined to get it for her. Rohan picked her out a wind-up flashlight. Turns out she loved the chair the most!!! and her little brother couldn’t get his hands off of the flashlight! I added matching t-shirts and a sunhat for the girls-so they are planning on wearing their matching shirts tomorrow at school. They are really good little friends. They seem very like-minded so I’m glad that I like her Mom and the girls will be in school next year together too as Eloisa is going into French Immersion as well. So, we are going to start playdates with them.

Here are a few pics.

As an aside, her mom is a former aerospace engineer who was slated to go to Houston when she was 4 months pregnant to visit the Space Shuttle. She declined because she didn’t want to cause the baby stress. She has chosen staying at home with her kids over her career. I really like her!
