I took Mister and Lamb to the birthday party of the daughter of my niece. Would that be a grand niece? I'm so awful at anything but the basics.
Anyway, Very turned 5 years old, and Lamb adores Very as her cousin. (2nd cousin? Is there a "removal" in there somewhere?) So Lamb was thrilled to go to the party.
Mister, worried about being in a little girls' party, endured with politeness. That it was a family event and not a "little girls' party" helped.
Lamb picked out the features and clothes of a Build-a-Bear cat we got as a present and also sewed and stuffed a home-made cat as her own personal present.
It was a nice day for a party, and included a bouncy house that went over well for the kids there.
Oh, and my niece made a peanut-butter cream cookie to die for.
