bday6 for the littlest girl!

This time, it was at a park that was new to all of us!

Hillary Park, with a baseball field and jungle gym and lots of room to run!

Not that I did any of that... but all those kids sure did!

Here's the birthday girl, Miss Miyah Papaya, holding up the gift from her G'Aunt Tina!

(smile!)

There's her Mommie, my first niece, off to her right.

Behind her is her friend Zander, who she met at a fast food place about six months ago with his grandma... and who she continues to see there on a near-weekly basis!

And that girl in the red-checked top?

That's Chloe, who's only 4 but is bigger than her sister.

Hopefully, Miyah will soon catch up to her!

(smile!)

I did mention that there were kids, right?

Usually, there would be the twin cousins, and maybe a couple of long-time friends from daycare at these parties.

It isn't that classmates don't get invited... they just don't usually come out, perhaps as the parents don't know them well enough.

Thank goodness that wasn't the case this time!

Honestly, I didn't ever stop to count who all was there, but I'm thinking Miyah had eight to ten classmates there!

Chloe even had a few friends over!

(smile!)

Good thing there was plenty of Little Caesar's Pizza!

Lots of chips, too, and then, when it was time for cake, everyone got to choose the color of icing they wanted on their cupcake!

I really do like that idea of cupcakes instead of a big cake - less messy and you get that personal touch of adding your own sprinkles.

(smile!)

The band that was holding practice while we were there had already left by the time the party was winding down.

I'd thought of asking them to play "Happy Birthday", but I don't think they had time to take requests.

(smile!)

 

They sounded pretty good.

In my mind, I could hear their mothers saying, "I know you need to practice, but you're not going to be making all that racket here."

Concerned about the rain in the forecast, they probably hoped the pavilion would be open.

I'm glad Christina grabbed it first!

Not that it rained... but it had lots of bench seats and picnic tables!

Perfect for the party!
