Learning Thai

Eliza turned five yesterday!! Her birthday comes at the very hottest part of the year, so we thought it would be fun to have a "snow party." We turned the air conditioning in her bedroom waaaay up, hung snowflakes from the ceiling, had a snowman cake and watched a snowy movie. Our thermometer was reading 98 degrees so it a good way to escape!

Some pictures of the festivities

Winter wonderland. Well, sort of.

Opening her presents. Loved the homemade doll clothes, Grandma Mast and the books and money, Rhodes Grandparents and purple dress, Aunt Anita!

Don't worry- we ate him before he melted.

Earlier in the day we celebrated with breakfast in bed for the b'day princess, followed by a treasure hunt to find her birthday gift, a Hello Kitty bike, and and then a trip to an indoor funland....

Breakfast in bed for the birthday princess, with her favorite, kiwi.

The Daddy-designed treasure hunt lead from the rabbit's food bowl to a Madeline book to an orange tree out front and all over the house before ending up with a key that unlocked Silas's room where she found...this!

We had fun discovering Funerium for the first time. We loved the bike track, the separate baby play area, the big slides and ball pit with ball vacuum and ball blower.

Silas was addicted to this big slide (even though it was for 5-13 year olds! E. was too scared!)

Eliza loved the trampoline.

So, in spite of the heat (Tom wondered if there is such a thing as "bitterly hot". Yesterday was. Other words? Scorching, boiling, roasting. You literally did not want to be in the sun for five minutes)....and a few birthday meltdowns, scraped knees, etc, we all had a lot of fun celebrating Eliza Grace.
