Party animals

Rachel's birthday party was Saturday.  It was a pizza-themed party--each guest made her own mini-pizza.  (One unclear on the concept: Nathan is now asking for "a macaroni and cheese-themed party."  Or sometimes "a carrot-themed party."  I think we'll be having a regular party, possibly with macaroni and cheese and carrots.)  Everyone seemed to have a great time.  I think the highlights were making the pizzas, going on a cool treasure hunt with photo clues, and playing freeze tag in the backyard.  All of the girls Rachel invited were very sweet and fun to be with, and they did a great job of sharing and taking turns, even readily following Nathan when it was his turn to lead to the treasure hunt clue.  It's nice to see your kid finding nice friends!

I took a few photos during the party, but the best shot--everyone holding up their pizzas--was completely backlit from the window, unfortunately.  So here's a cute photo from the treasure hunt.
