Another year whooshed by! Ayana is now 3 and Naiara is 2, less than a year apart; Irish Twins they call that! (maybe because only Irish women are crazy enough to space them that close together?)
Amanda drove up from Coos Bay Oregon to join Steve and I for the girl's birthday party. The three of us jumped on the Bainbridge Ferry and were treated to a non-rainy day view of beautiful Downtown Seattle! I stood on the bow of the boat and took as many beautiful captures as my frozen fingers would allow. Sunny, but still frigid (the weather).
Then we attempted to hail a taxi from the ferry dock and ended up in a stretch Limo ... I kid you not! That's right, we have style!
The Seattle Children's Museum (downstairs of the Seattle Center House next door to the Space Needle) is one of the greatest venues for hosting a LittleBit birthday party! This year Renee' booked the "Undersea Room" with an amazing assortment of hand painted mermaids, sea turtles, fish and kelp decorating the walls. Aya was excited to see the Castle on the wall (lighthouse)!
I followed the LittleBits around as they ventured through the theme rooms. Starting at the grocery store, then to the bus depot, and off to the construction site ...
Several of the children showed up before the party to take advantage of quality room time. As the day wears on, the rooms get rather crowded with children and the toys tend to wander out of their originating theme rooms.
Eventually, the pizza and fruit were served up and more friends and family flowed into the room until there was nothing but chaos. Seriously, a two-and-three year old birthday party emits sounds, sights and smells that are distinctively unique.
Then came the most important part of the party ... Cake time!
And presents ...
Then we planned our escape. Out the back door ... Leaving the mess and chaos to the youngsters. Heh, I love saying that! Until next year!!!
