Five year olds' birthday party

Laura's best friend turned five just 4 days after Laura. We decided it would be fun to have a birthday party together. Living in California you get used to assuming any weekend will be sunny, even in February. So, of course we planned a party at the park. Thankfully, we planned ahead and also reserved the old schoolhouse at the park, because a big storm came just in time for the party. The night before the party we put together the party favors by candlelight since the storm had knocked the power out.

Just as we had worked out what we'd do with 36 kids + parents in a one-room schoolhouse for two hours, the weather decided to take pity on us and the rain stopped for the party. The girls had a great time. Here are some pictures from the party.
