Leia made a decision on where she would celebrate her birthday. I told her, that like anyone else in this earth, she should only has one birthday, she had an option, where she celebrated in school, or anywhere else, and she made her choice, "I want to celebrate it in Opa's place!" My father was immediately full of joy, and proud of his grand daughter choice.
So, we just had it, on the Halloween day. It was a bright, nice Saturday, where the sun shine, but not too strong, and the clouds were gone for a while. We had simple, but yet nice celebration. We had it outside, in a cool, and nice breeze. We had yummy lunch, followed by the traditional Monkey performance. The children had a blast, they pretended to be the monkey, and they all ran away, when the monkey came close to them. They fed the monkey with the bananas. The monkey performance however, was okay, yes it was pity though, I could not watch the whole thing, but I complained the performance was so long. The children loved it, and the adult who hadn't watch it for a while, loved it even more.
Leia demanded to blow her candle, right after the monkey performance and continued to swim with her friends. She had a blast, her friends had a blast! That's what important I think. Nicest, simplest birthday with people and children who matter most for Leia.
That's right..that's how bday party is supposed to be for kids..for them to be outside and have fun.
