We all went to something that only Elizabeth had done before, a bar mitzvah. It was David Cooper’s 13th birthday. I remember when Viv was in the hospital having him, I was at Cooper’s house painting his bathroom that he didn’t have time to finish. It was a very modern ceremony that was interesting. Afterwards, there was the reception. All of the kids really loved the party. Katy has decided she wants a sweet 16 party now. We wish her luck with that.
Can you believe Margaret is 11? As seems to always be, Margaret’s birthday fell during ski week. We were in Tahoe, so we went ice skating in the afternoon then had a nice dinner with the Walden’s that night. (We also had a dinner with Elizabeth’s family the next Friday). A low key birthday. Now we need to start planning parties with the kids friends.
Another school play. This time Margaret was actually in it. (She did crew last year). I don’t quite understand why they have to copy things, this was a copy of Gilligan’s Island merged with Jungle Book. They like to take classic rock songs as well and change the words. This was one of the better plays, but 5th graders in Los Gatos are not like Fame.
