Namaste...
Cass said she wanted to do something with movement for her birthday , and after a little bit we came up with a yoga theme! Since her birthday is today, and on a Saturday!, it was a nice to have her party on the actual day. Our original plan to have it at home was quickly redacted and a plan b option took flight the day before. The dance room at evelyn mount community center was huge, had yoga mats, and was sheltered from wind, potential rain, and cold temps. Oh Reno, your unpredictable weather continues to play with our emotions!
As we thought about the best way to bring this yoga idea to life, we immediately thought about Rori Lee! Talk about a guru in the making whose spirit is as bright as her smile, Rori teaches yoga regularly for grown ups and kids. She also teaches silks, plays with fire, walks on stilts, and is just a general all around bada**. If you'd like to see some pics from our freshmen year of college almost 17 years ago (wowza!) hit me up ;-)
Rori not only volunteered her time, but her kids' time too! The girls love seeing Marlee and Max so that was a nice bonus.
Cass is not much for sweets, a simple, semi-homemade strawberry shortcake was on the menu. We don't do the party bag to go thing, but we did pick up some cups with lids and straws from the dollar store for the kids to take home. It was great fun to watch the kids go from being all zen and focused to running around full of sugar and hot dogs ;-)
Our baby is 8! Wrapping up second grade, speaking Spanish, playing the piano, and living life. She can be found deeply engrossed in a book (Harry Potter-book 5 now), or chasing fictitious pirates in the backyard with her sister. Her personality is as big as her hair, her heart is as big as her dreams to one day work with marine wildlife. A very happy birthday to our Cassidy Grace, and a huge thank you to those who came to celebrate today ;-)
Namaste.

Also, no birthday would be complete without an outing to wasting arrows for our budding toxophilite! She is a natural. I'm sure there is a scholarship out there somewhere with her name on it...
