Dual Birthday Party in Long Beach

We hosted Camille's first-ever birthday party this past Saturday, which also happened to be Corrie's birthday itself, and so we celebrated that, too. With it ostensibly a birthday party for a three year-old, the kids were outnumbered by adults 3-1.

Corrie did a bang-up job decorating our small, downtown apartment, with rainbow streamers and a pink/purple/blue wall, befitting the combo idea of "Unicorn/Frozen" party:

Camille was dressed up in her newest and finest Elsa gear, with Corrie dressed up as Anna:

Turns out Corrie likes being a girl-mom. We had a bunch of food set up, and what may have been a reasonable amount of alcohol for a three year-old's party.

My mother made it fromArizona, as did my cousin and her husband from Boyle Heights.

Because of when Camille was born---right before the pandemic---we didn't get a chance to do many of the cool things (story time at the library; swim as a baby; weekly aquarium trips) that usually yield friendships with same aged kids. All we have is daycare, which is admittedly enough. Many kids were sick or busy, so her friends were few in number, but big in love:

All in all, it was good day, and a fun first party, and a fun mommy-and-me party time.
