Izzy's Birthday Party

 Katherine invited us down for her daughter's birthday this weekend. She lives in Huntington Beach now, so it was a bit of a drive, but way nicer than when she lived in Washington! haha. Laura was invited too, so she was going to meet us out there. It's nice to go to a party, and know someone there that you can talk to, besides the busy host :p

 Their little picnic table for the kids in the back is so cute. The kids had fun playing with each other, though there were a few sharing problems, since there was only 1 car and 1 bike, and lots of little girls around lol. Plus the tiny owner wasn't too fond of other kids playing with her stuff either. Eventually the kids found the upstairs bedroom with the toys in it. Emma tried to go with them, but got distracted by how fun the stairs were. She wanted to go up and down and up and down, and eventually fell and almost rolled down a bit =( Thankfully Katherine's husband caught her. I sat next to her on the stairs after that, wishing they had a baby gate lol. Finally I couldn't take it anymore, too nervous with her climbing, and Laura and I walked our kids to the park right down the street, where we parked our cars. They played for a good thirty minutes before we drove home. It was nice out.
