Our sweet little girl, Sofia, turned three yesterday. In the late afternoon, we went to the Athalassa Park for a birthday party picnic. Sofia wanted a Barbie theme. She calls them Bearbies, because that is what Sister Bear plays with in the Berenstain Bear books. All of the cousins came with their parents, as well as grandma and Demetris' cousin, Alexia, and her family. There is a very nice playground at this park in a slightly wooded area. We were lucky to find a group of picnic tables protected from the sun by a roof. The playground kept the kids busy and they stopped just long enough to eat. It certainly has become noticeable how much earlier it is getting dark now compared to the summer. Around 8:00 we quickly packed everything up and headed to the cars guided by the light from iPhones. What did we ever do without them? On the way to the car Sofia said, "I had a good birthday." One of her presents was a pair of Reebok shoes with lights on them. She said, "When we go to Emilio's I can wear these shoes." Emilio's is the restaurant that we go to in the village and it is always dark when we walk there. That girl is thinking!
