Evie celebrated her 5th birthday on Friday, December 2. Luke and I had just gotten home from our "big" trip on Sunday, I drove home on Tuesday and it was party time on Saturday. I drove down to Cincinnati on Friday night and Sara, Evie and I went to see the new Disney movie, Moana. It is a lovely movie about the Hawaiian islands which is so appropriate since Evie was born in Honolulu. The music score was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote Hamilton and I must say, the man is a musical genius!

This year, for Evie's very special 5th birthday party, Sara and Matt had it at the Cincinnati Zoo. It was a very pretty day and she had some of her closest friends from school and several of her cousins in attendance. Everyone had a really great time. The party was at 10 am so we had the entire zoo to ourselves. I guess most of the public were waiting until 4 and the Lights Festival. The kids made enrichment for the birds in the bird house and Evie got to present hers to the cockatoo in person. They also had some animal visitors. A Hairy Armadillo, which I had never seen or even knew existed and a tortoise (not nearly as large as the Galapagos, but still about 30 lbs.) The highlight however was after the party when the kids played on the outdoor playground! We also visited the new Hippo exhibit. It is very nicely done.
