Michael and Geo kick it on the round couch with Baby Nermie:
Thena and MG give humper some love:
Sunday before party, Auntie Na-Na and Uncle Noah show up (a suprise visit from LA--of course I was in on it but not the kids)
MG studies C's technique as they decorate for the party with sidewalk chalk. This was SO much cooler than traditional party decor:
Guests begin to arrive--big and small! Allison "introduces" her little Sweetpea to Zeke, canine lord of the manor. We all had a goooood laugh at this one:
Sweetpea nevertheless was a HIT with the little kids. Another homerun hit was the kitty ears that Joi made for Isadore:
Zeke still got some kid-tention, though, from Kaden mostly:
Sweet pile of goodies for the littles--homemade crafty goodness, thoughtful homeschool activites, or store-bought from small local businesses...we have AWESOME friends:
The crew listens to Jade read the next clue on the treasure hunt:
..and it leads to the fireplace! The final clue:
Nicole whips out her compass to help the kids figure out which way is west:
The booty!:
Root beer float time: the kids wait patiently (well, some more than others....):
Mayan's first RB float ever...she likes it!:
Kids in the playhouse (Is, MG, Kylin, and Max):
C and M brought these awesome Egyptian "action figures" for MG:
The old-skool San Diego crew: Daena, Blake, Nicole, and Chemynne together again after......MANY years:
She may never take either of these things off:
A cool B&W of C taken by a kid I'm sure:
B was taking most of the pictures all weekend so here he is enjoying some post-party and post-pizza relaxation:
Isadore and Thurston:
Siblings B and C and thier babies, George and Athena, respectively:
We were so stoked to have an extra bonus night with C and M and A:
Isadore not only is a great big sis, but a great cousin as well--making sure thena doesn't fall on her bum:
Monday night--grillin' with Naomi and Noah. Apparently, my blackberry gallette was a hit:
Telling spooky stories in the tree house:
Quality aunt and uncle time:

Another comment...
I was just showing Jay and Thurston the picures and Thurston says "look, look Mayan!"
then he said "thurston with dozer"
Took me a minute to figure out that is what he is calling Isadore.
Kills me.....
Totally bummed we missed out :( Looks like you all had fun!
Thanks so much for having us again this year. We all had a really good time. :) Although I'm going to have to work with Eleanor to get her in some pictures. lol
I am so glad she likes the ears! It was a fantastic time :)
I love the picture of kaden and zeke, but i'm SO sorry i didn't see it so i could get him off!!! Zeke didn't look too mad, although, he probably couldn't breathe. ;)
What a great party!!! Thank you so much for all the fun, and the "special" float -- it was soooooo yummy!!!
xoxo
