MICHAYLA'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!!!

Michayla celebrated her 3rd birthday at Two Boots Brooklyn, a great pizza place in Park Slope (The neighborhood where Mark's dad grew up).

The party menu consisted of chef hat decorating, followed by pizza making, a little play time, the eating of the pizzas, and then the cake.

NO BOYS ALLOWED!

Michayla insisted on an all-girl birthday party. No boys! Sort of the opposite of the He-Man Woman Haters Club.

First up, the decorating of the chef hats, which turned into a marker orgy.




















THE MAKING OF THE PIZZAS

Michayla made her Italian grandfather very proud.



























WHAT COLD WEATHER?

Emily, one of Michayla's babysitters (and an actress in the American Girl show) came to the party to get the kids up and moving while the pizzas were cooking. Now, in LA, weather was never a question. It's always nice. Not so much in Brooklyn. But Brooklyn kids scoff at cold weather.





THE ADULTS











AND THEN THE CAKE

Happy Birthday, Michayla. We love you. Momma and daddy.







BALLERINA

Michayla has started dance classes and loves it. Here she performs Swan Lake.



DANA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

We're convinced that everyone in Michayla's class is a January baby. Here we are at Dana's birthday party, which featured the world's longest puppet show.

HATS OFF TO YOU

Sometimes a bag makes a fetching chapeau.

A CONDO OF HER OWN

Nicki's parents gave Michayla the world's largest doll house. We need to rent a semi toget it back to Brooklyn.
