After Hannah's party, I let her choose what we did for dinner. She said she wanted to eat dinner at a restaurant, but not a Mexican restaurant, just a regular restaurant. And then she wanted to go to sonic and eat tots and get a treat. So we decided Red Robin would work well for her and we finished the evening at Sonic, even though I do not normally prefer to top off my dinner with tots.
She also enjoyed playing with her birthday presents. She liked all her gifts, but was especially excited about her ability to give her babies shots with a "pink shot" (You will note she is wearing her Doc McStuffins outfit at her birthday dinner. She takes her doctoral duties very seriously.) and also Chicken's mermaid costume, since she wants both herself and Chicken to dress up as mermaids for Halloween this year.
The following weekend, we went to the zoo as a family for Hayden's birthday party. I hadn't been to the zoo for a birthday party before. But it was pretty fun and the kids get little stuffed animals as a favor (you can see Clara's in the photo), which made them super happy.
Naturally we couldn't leave without a carousel ride.
Hannah had made progress in being willing to ride an actual animal on the carousel previously, but this time she was back to "Why would I risk my life like that?" so we rode together on the bench.
The first part of the party (with cupcakes and gifts) was in a room inside the main building. The tablecloth was a large sheet of paper, so the kids (and many of us adults) drew pictures on the paper with the supplied crayons.
After the girls were done on the carousel, they came over and joined the rest of us. There was a DJ there playing fun kids songs. Hannah couldn't help but break it down, as you can see here. It was a fun party, and everyone had a good time.
The following weekend, Hannah was invited to a birthday party for a friend from school. It was at Rainbow Play Systems, which is a swing set showroom. It was a super fun venue for a birthday party. Hannah had a lot of fun.
