More Birthday Parties

This weekend we headed out to more birthday parties. W had two parties this weekend but unlike last weekend these two were ont eh same day on opposite sides of town. Since we all couldn't go to both we divided up. Jason and Ali went to Owen's birthday party. Owen is Ali's age and will be in her class next year at school. This was a good opportunity for her to attend a party without her sister. Jason had fun too since the party was filled with a lot of our friends. He was nice and even brought me home a bagel from the party! I forgot to give him the camera before he left so we don't have any pictures from Owen's party this year. I was able to steal one today from Laura's (Owen's mom) blog. (Thanks Laura!)

I headed off with Sofia to her friend Anna's party (a different Anna from last weekend - There are 3 girls named Anna in her class). Our friend picked us up and we headed out of town since Anna lives just outside Prague. It was a lot of fun at the party. Her Mom and Dad, Suzanne and Christoph, did a great job with the party. They kept the kids well entertained and entertained and fed the adults as well. Sofia loved playing the games and hitting the pinata. She always loves being in peoples houses too. It is interesting to see what she comes up with for things she wants. At Anna's house Sofia decided she wanted a house with stairs so her bedroom could be upstairs and she wanted a loft bed like Anna's. Apparently Sofia was enthralled by climbing! I guess the three floors of stairs she climbs to get into our apartment aren't enough. I also enjoy seeing other people's houses so that I can see how they decorate. Their house was beautiful. Once we were there and I was talking to Suzanne and Christoph it made sense to me why Sofia always said that Anna is from "chinese". They had a lot of Asian decorations in their house which were beautiful and it turns out that the reason Anna is "from Chinese" is that for the last three years they lived in Shanghai. At least now I can explain to Sofia that Anna is from Austria but lived in China before she moved to Prague.
