Her first birthday was the size of a small wedding. A hall was rented, food was catered, decorations galore, and even a DJ. Her 4th was slightly smaller, probably about 30 of us, but was still so fun!
I would use my own words. But my cousin, Nisha, described the day perfectly.
"Shifa's party. She was dressed as an indian princess. Enosh was a handsome little worm. All the boys massaged each other. Lisa put a balloon under her dress and it popped. Everyone fed shifa cake. I had pizza for the first time in a long time and I think I am hooked. Akhil didn't give her a present so she skipped him in the circle of hugs, then returned after being prompted and hugged him without using her arms. A photo of katie's foot was taken. heard Enosh cry for the first time. Akhil and Caleb have similar hair. Caleb ate shifa's bindi."
So there it is, Shif. If you ever wonder about your 4th birthday party...Nisha Aunty covered all the important bases!

Ha-ha. Great post. Shifa will love this when she gets older. I liked the 'Before' and 'After' with the balloons. Also, it's weird how the boys (while doing the massage train) we ordered from shortest to tallest.
