Emma's Sixth Birthday!

Emma's Kung Fu Panda 2 birthday party was on Friday! We had 12 kids in here, including 2 new friends from Emma's class. The kids played a KFP2 game, and watched KFP2. We ate Chinese food, had cake, and opened presents! Emma was so excited about everything! On Saturday we skyped Nona and Zeyda (Matt's parents) and Uncle Avi, so she opened her gifts from them: a panda winter hat (so hot in NYC right now), Beauty and the Beast Squinkies, and a baby Jasmine doll. Yesterday, her actual birthday, she got $5 from Mom, Dad and Siri, so she was able to get the Hello Kitty watch that she's been saving for! Fun weekend!

Siri's Birthday!

Last Friday Siri turned 4! We celebrated by inviting 10 neighborhood friends over for a Jake and the Neverland Pirates party! The kids decorated eye patches and watched Siri's 2 favorite episodes of the show. Then we fed them all chicken nuggets, fries, carrots and bananas before they set out on the treasure hunt, each with their own pouches to collect gold dablouns at each clue. The treasure was a Skully (the parrot on the show) piñata that I made. We smashed it in the living room, the kids added candy to their bags, and then we fed them cake! The 1 1/2 hour whirlwind ended with Siri opening presents and Matt ushering the kids out the door, which was easy since they all live next door!
