This is Saturday's official post...today we went to the house of a dear friend of mine to celebrate the 9th birthday of her son, Alexander. Estela and I met waaayyy back when Zach was a few months old and Alex was a newborn. Since then, we've tried to include Estela, Ralf and Alex in our plans whenever we are able, we love their company and it doesn't happen often since we moved 2 hours away.
Anyhow, Estela went all out and overboard creating a Harry Potter themed party, including cloaks that she sewed for each child attending. *faint* Too much sewing for me, AND she used a pattern. I've tried patterns a few times, and haven't had much luck with them. The party was a great success, the kids all had a great time (oh how I wish I could have gotten better photos of 'Diagon Alley' which was in their garage, dimly lit, with Ralf as the shopkeeper selling them their 'school supplies'). After the classes and magic spells were done, the kids ran crazy playing ball, trying to
toss it in keep it from the water. The biggest attraction, however, was the Mentos and Diet Coke display put on by Ralf.
Thanks again for inviting us, Estela! We had a blast! Hopefully I'll get the rest of the pictures to you before his next birthday ;)
