"It was a lovely party"

Anthony's words.  I was thrilled to hear it.

   The long awaited day, Anthony's fifth birthday party.  He had about 10 pals over for some creative dramatics activities.  Honestly, while the actress was downright fabulous, we probably would have just been fine with free-play in the back yard.  They did enjoy her, a lot, but it was hard to compete with the sand table and roller coaster.

  The cake was a hit, as was the pinata.  They also went through nearly two gallons of ice cream!


  He got some great presents.  A bunch of board games (must be a turning five thing) and legos.  Also some new books, a few toys and some CD of music from his favorite movies.
