We had a small party with a few of her school friends at Michael's Arts and Crafts store this year. All of the girls had a fun time painting and decorating a wooden purse-shaped box to store their little treasures in.
Little M received a little help painting her box from Big M's friend, Marin.
On Big M's actual birthday, we took her and a friend ice skating. Neither of the girls had ice skated before. It was slow going at first, but both girls got the hang of it before long and seemed to really enjoy it. It had been a long time since Charley and I had ice skated...it took as a little time to get the hang of it again too!
