Madeline Grace Brewster is six years old!
I spent three days in San Diego with Anastasia, Chris and the kids. The weekend started off with a lovely princess birthday party. Anastasia and Laura Brewster put together a simple, yet elegant, celebration for Maddie at Laura's condo downtown. It was super-sweet cuteness attended by a small group of extremely well-behaved little girls, plus a very grown-up Toby.
Lunch included cheetos, sandwiches and birthday pudding. Activities included princess puzzles, doll dress up, hair, makeup, jewelry, dancing, and a carousel ride. After the carousel ride, the Grannies decided to run with scissors. Laura, Toby, Madeline, Me and Lucy-the-dog enjoyed a pedi-cab ride back to Laura's house through the city streets of San Diego. I'm glad it was spur-of-the-moment because any time to consider it and I would have chickened out. I only wish we had a photo of it. Hillarious!
As far as the rest of the weekend, we spent time at the house playing, reading, making videos, cooking, eating, swimming (at Laura & Scott's), hanging out with the housemates and friends; and also enjoyed a couple of meals with the Brewsters. A lot of fun crammed into three days. I cannot wait to return in October and do it all again for Toby's 4th birthday.
Love, hugs, and appreciation to Anastasia, Chris, and Laura for taking such good care of me during my visit.
Here are some photos from the weekend. I managed to forget my camera when we went to the princess party, so I added some pictures that Anastasia took.
