Comments for Birthday Party
Birthday Party: 07/02/07
On Saturday the four of us went to a lovely birthday party for my friend Irma. We met through BookCrossing and she and her husband hosted a two hour birthday bash in Livermore that was both fun for adults and kids.
About a third of us there were BookCrossers (or "that book club" as one of the other guess called it). The other two thirds were immediate family, including the grand-daughters who have been supplying Harriet with many of her lovely outfits.
For the kids they had party favors that were fun for the older kids but still safe for the babies to play with. Harriet and Sean were both thrilled to have gifts and to have the same toys to play with. One was a giraffe finger puppet and the other was a noisemaker shaped like a pair of hands.
The party was held in a banquet room at an Asian buffet. Sean, bless him, was brave enough to try sushi! Harriet mostly stuck with her bag of cereal that I brought along (not knowing what to expect in terms of food). It was unusual to see the reversal in my kids with Sean being the adventurous eater and Harriet being the picky one.
We stayed for cake (and the kids had their own cupcakes) but not for presents. I'm so glad we had the chance to go.

Isn't it great to meet friends you've made online? Sounds like you all had a good time."
