They are so happy in this plastic bubble at McD’s Playland. Maybe we could make one at home and keep them inside it.

Probably not, but it is good fun.

I thought we might name this snowman Olaf, but Ezri wanted to name her Elsa.

Meet Elsa.

Just a week old:

What she looks like these days:

The party:

Ezri really wanted a pinata. Ivan helped picked this one at a party store. It is a ribbon pull pinata, so no small persons were given implements to wield.

As a surprise bonus there was face painting:

Ivan wanted a pink heart which by the end of the night he was wearing on his sleeve in streaks of pink.

Faded rainbow photo that I had to take before she would let me wash her face for bed.

Party girls having pizza.

This photo sums up how Ezri felt about her party.

Ezri and Ivan worked together well to color this whole giant sized coloring page of a dinosaur.

Ivan’s scribbles and Ezri’s more focused coloring make a nice mix.

Then I asked what the dinosaur says.

ROAR!

This is the completed dinosaur suitable for the refrigerator.

Other Ezri news:
Ezri is learning to type some words and called out wondering how to get the “red dots” to go away from her name. Spellcheck does not know your name, Ezri. It was fine with the other family names she’d typed. No red dots for “Ivan.”

She has taught her brother that if she has a snack and commands “Speak” that replying “Woof!” will get him some of her crackers. This kept them entertained for 20 minutes in the car.
