So many little pieces

Meryl’s friend, Willie, gave her a campsite Playmobile set for her birthday - nostalgia! Perfect Sunday morning activity…but my big adult hands sure don’t maneuver all those little pieces like they used to! So glad Xanna saved all the Playmobiles of my youth. Though, holding off until Holmes is less likely to choke on them:)

Lumpia party

Happy Birthday, Meryl! We brought Lola and her homemade lumpia to Meryl’s class on her birthday to celebrate with her pre-school friends. And as the second youngest, Meryl finally got to use the special birthday candle snuffer to snuff out three candles for being three years old!

Birthday twin

Meryl shares a birthday with cousin, Lainie! Lucky for us, we caught her on FaceTime after she came home from her own birthday dinner to celebrate!

So much food

And she’s (almost) three! Weather was great, friends and family are great, and the food stole the show. Seaweed hand rolls for the kids (interactive!) and chili dogs, Cool Ranch Doritos nachos, and lumpia for the adults! I think every kid drank an average of five juice boxes, and each made sure to have cookies and a slice of Chelsea’s chocolate cake. Pre-nap perfection.
