Evie had been SO excited for Hadley's Frozen Princess party and it didn't disappoint! Elsa came for a visit and truth be told, she WAS the party. She led the kids (all girls except for one boy who must've felt totally out of place) through singing Let It Go and wowed them with her special magical powers where she could make snow. She then topped it off with dance lessons and face painting. What a talented princess! Given how much little girls love princesses, I'm kind of surprised actually we haven't gone to a Frozen party until today. Evie is almost outgrowing the princess phase but she had a ton of fun today.
We got back from Japan about a week ago and we're still talking about what a great trip it was! Japan has never been super high on my places to visit but for a lot of reasons (I've never been, it's clean, it's safe, it's different) we took the plunge and booked it as our summer vacation this year. It helped that our friends, the Wongs, went last year, raved about it and loved it so much they were going again and we were able to coordinate so that some of our trip overlapped with theirs. It helped even more that the yen is at a 10-year low (maybe all time low?) against the dollar, which, aside from airfare, made everything quite affordable. Look how low the yen is! We lucked out that it kept falling after we booked our tix in Dec. Since this was our first big overseas trip since COVID and with kids (or, lets face it, SINCE kids), I dove into prepping for our trip - including trying to keep up my Duolingo streak of learning Japanese for at least a few minutes everyd
