Socialite Maisie

What a day yesterday for my little Maisie Miao Miao as she had one fun filled busy day.  First she spent the morning at the gym for TOPs practice then it was home for a quick shower and change before heading off to her first of two birthday parties, both at nice restaurants.  I’m telling you, Maisie gets better and fancier invites than her parents!  The first party was at The Melting Pot celebrating April’s 6th birthday. 

Maisie and birthday girl April.

This was one very fancy party with the children starting the celebration with fancy yin & yang drinks.

Oh yes, they all enjoyed their special drinks.

Then before the chocolate fondue there were crafts where the children made cute foam doorknob hangers.  Maisie decided to make one for her friend “K” which I guess was appropriate as “K’s” birthday party would be Maisie’s next social engagement later that night.  The children enjoyed two different fondues, yin & yang and I think s’mores but honestly I was too busy enjoying the yin & yang in front of me to even take pictures at that point.  The party and the chocolate fondue were delicious good fun and Maisie really enjoyed her first fondue experience and loved being at the party to celebrate April’s birthday.  Happy number six April!

From one party to the next as Maisie joined “K” at Bamboo to celebrate her 9th birthday.  Children and adults alike dined on “K’s” favorites, edamame, dumplings, chicken satay, Mandarin beef ribs, Pad Thai and a totally delicious shrimp and avocado salad.  Happy birthday “K” and Maisie enjoyed celebrating with you.

One long day filled with three fun activities and lots of good food made for one tired little girl.  Maisie actually fell asleep really quickly last night and had sweet dreams remembering her fun-filled day.
