I already posted about Allison's birthday party. On her birthday - we took cookies to school. She wanted cookies, not the "healthy snack" options that the school recommends. "Everybody else brings cookies, mom!" so cookies it was. And then we made a ton of them because they were small (pillsbury take-n-bake being the only cookies I could find, other than oreos, that aren't processed on equipment that also processes nuts) and there are 34 kids in her class. Ack.
For her birthday dinner, she shockingly chose the Japanese hibachi grill. Onion volcano:
She ate very well!! Grandpa Jim and Grandma Darleen were visiting, so they enjoyed the meal along with us (and this odd group of three people who shared our hibachi table). I spent most of the night trying to figure out their exact relationship and several minutes near the end convincing their 3-yr old that stabbing at the koi in the little tank with a fork (borrowed and then replaced from the adjoining table) wasn't a good plan.
Then it was home for cake and presents! Allison enjoyed all her birthday gifts - dresses, caramel apples, a suitcase, a puzzle, and a button factory.
Happy birthday to the girl who is now in double digits! That's a lot of candles!
