Sky and Brad's Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping that this blog will help us stay in touch with all of our friends and family who are so far away. I thought I'd start by sharing some stories about Brad and Sky's birthday and birthday party. Their birthday was on Wednesday and we celebrated in Downtown Disney, a shopping area outside the park. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe and then stayed for a while and watched the fireworks that are set off at Disneyland every night. The best part was that their Auntie Michelle (Eric's wife) was here visiting and was able to celebrate with us.

We had their party on Friday. It was a princess/knight slaying the dragon party and we had a total of 21 kids here. I made a castle birthday cake and we played lots of fun games. The boys slayed a dragon pinata while the girls plundered a cardboard castle (that we had made from moving boxes). We also did a princess walk game (like a cake walk but with princess faces rather than numbers)and we played pin the crown on the princess. Every boy got an inflatable sword and every girl got an inflatable wand. Many of the girls came dressed as princesses. It was a blast!
