Sophie opened gifts all day long, and when she wasn't busy with that she and Hannah made signs to tell guests all they needed to know for the party. Things like where to find the bathroom, the games, and (my favorite) an introduction to Carter and Henry.
Sunday Sophie wanted to have a big breakfast with Carter, Henry, Grandma, and Grandpa. We fixed pancakes, bacon, sausage, and farm fresh eggs from the farmers market. Kelly, Jon, and company decided not to attend Red Wing for the final day and invited us to join them at the cabin instead. So we headed up there mid morning. We did some canoeing, some mushroom hunting, and some wineberry picking. We also ate a little lunch and hung out around the cabin before everyone headed home mid afternoon. Sadly I took no photos of the cabin festivities. I tried to get one of Charles canoeing with the girls, but they were faster than the camera on my phone was!
Monday then was Sophie's actual birthday. We measured her first thing in the morning and discovered that she's grown about 3 inches since her last birthday and about 2 inches in the last half year alone. She and Hannah have both been growing like crazy lately! Granny and Papa came to spend the afternoon with us at the house and then took Sophie to her choice of restaurants, the Wood Grill. Sophie ate two friend chicken legs, two large helpings of mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, a roll with butter, grapes, ice cream, and two chocolate covered rice krispies. I think she enjoyed the meal!
After three days of festivities, I hope Sophie feels adequately celebrated. I know I'm exhausted! :)
