Party on...

Have I mentioned how much the girls love the party circuit? Every weekend, they want to know what kind of parties are on the agenda. Then, they spend some time picking out their "party dresses" and figuring out which friends will be there. This weekend they went to a party at Daddy's office, a birthday party of their school friend and a bon voyage party for one of their neighborhood friends. They seem to have inherited none of their mother's shyness, because they'll run right over looking for the little people their age. So cute! They are two little social butterflies. You never have to ask them twice to go do something. They are always ready for an adventure.


The highlight of this weekend was the birthday party with the jumping castle. They stayed in it for almost two solid hours. It was so fun to jump with all their preschool friends. Their class is the nicest group of little kids. We're going to miss them so much. I feel so fortunate that their first experience with school has been so positive. Miss Lily bouncing away.


And Elsa with her hair flying in the wind. Poor Elsa, at exactly 1pm the company deflated the jumping castle and she burst into tears. She was very sad to see it put away.


It was Reunion weekend, so we participated in some of the Princeton hoopla. Did you know Princeton has the best attended reunions in the world. It is simply amazing. Downtown becomes of sea of orange and black and really expensive cars (even more than usual). Mark and I have never experienced a university that loves itself so much. It can get to be a bit "much", but it is hard not to get caught up in the excitement. The picture above is the "old guard" leading the P-rade. The oldest living alumni in attendance is honored with a silver cane. The crowd goes nuts. The oldest class was from 1925. And there were plenty of groups from the 1930's, too. It was really exciting.
