Maya turns twelve on Sunday and celebrated today with her friends. Nicolai contributed by designing and placing clues for a treasure hunt in downtown Concord where the party began. Returning home in advance of threatening rain the girls enjoyed playing volleyball outside before sitting down to a pulled pork sandwich/mac & cheese dinner followed by a Lemon Chiffon Funnel cake iced with real butter cream (made from scratch by Maya). The girls watched a movie before retiring to the basement for a slumber party. I was exhausted from the 22 mile round trip bike ride to/from work today and Jeanine from all the preparations for the party so we retired long before the girls did.
