Annabel had her fourth birthday party today at the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Marin. The morning started out a bit foggy but cleared up quickly and turned into a beautiful day. There were about fifteen kids and 20 adults or so and it was a great time all around.
The princess obsession continues, with a princess cake, many princess themed gifts and a several guests arriving in royal attire. Annabel spent the first part of the morning out in the playground area digging for buried treasure. They have some cool caves and shipwreck scenes at the museum, and Annabel was fully embraced the treasure hunter role. ("Daddy, we need to find the X! That's where the treasure is!"). She then moved inside where she socialized with her friends and ate popcorn at an alarming rate, sometimes literally pushing it into her mouth with both hands. Picture below :)
Kristin and the girls made cupcakes last night to serve in addition to the princess cake, but we inadvertently left them at home in the craziness that led up to the party. At first Annabel was disappointed until she realized just how many cupcakes are now sitting in the kitchen just waiting to be eaten.
The first present that she opened was a Wonder Woman costume which she put on immediately. I asked her to give me a "super hero" look for the photo which is so hysterical that I had to include it below.
