Noah likes birthday parties. He likes playing with other kids. He likes singing Happy Birthday. He LOVES cake and ice cream. So, when he had two birthday parties to attend in the same day... HEAVEN!
The two parties were different. Both were great! The first one had lots of crafts...
And games (like musical chairs)...
Who knew two- and three-year-olds could mostly figure out musical chairs?
Once Noah understood the point of the game, he definitely relished in the sweet taste of victory every time the music stopped and he found a chair to sit in!
And very wisely, the hosts had pink lemonade as a consolation prize to immediately console the children as they were eliminated. No tears here!
And then, the pinata! Or as one of the birthday girls put it, "Knocking Dora's head off!"
Of course, once Dora's head got knocked off, and the body full of candy was still intact, it took a little surgery to re-capitate Dora and continue the game.
Noah's favorite part...
Cake and ice cream!
Followed by several hundred cycles up and down the slide to burn off the calories.
No rest for the weary, though. On to birthday party #2 we went!
All the kids were entranced by a magic act. Somebody-the-Great... I forget what his name was. He was really good, though.
He made a bunny rabbit appear...
In fact, he turned Noah into a bunny rabbit!
(But then to his credit, he did make a real bunny rabbit appear - and then disappear again! And I really have no clue how he did it. The magician was pretty slick!)
And then the camera battery died. So, that must've been the end of the party, right? Guess you'll have to use your imagination!
