Sophia's party was great fun for all. Sophie had 3 friends over: Claire, Owen and William, along with their respective entourages: Pam and Gary; Heather and Jeff; and Marie-Eve and Kelvin. Tricia's parents were also in attendance, so it was a full house.
We had a beach party, consisting of the little wading pool and the little sandbox. Claire, Owen, William and Sophia alternately went in the pool and the sandbox, and Sophia showed them how toys, sand, rocks, water and dirt can migrate from their original locations to new and interesting locales.
The cake was an original Tricia Gerhard creation, now famous around Regina for being the subject of many Cake-Smash photo shoots. We didn't smash this one, but Sophia did blow out the two candles, and the kids had messy handfuls to eat.
We also had helium balloons, which were a huge hit with the kids. Lots of cool stuff you can do with a helium balloon, although we didn't inhale at this particular party.
After the party proper, we had bison burgers and everyone stuck around for a great dinner. All in all a fun time was had, and I think Sophia actually understood a bit of what was happening. She knew it was a party, and she knew it was a "happy birthday" (she had been singing happy birthday to you since the last party she was at) but I think she did kind of get that it was her party, for her, about her.
