Eden's Birthday: Part One

eden had never been to build a bear, so for her 5th birthday she and i went on a little mommy daughter date to build a bear and lunch. she chose panda express for lunch, while i opted for rubio's. we had a lovely time, just us girls.

Eden's Birthday: Part Two

Downtown Disney

Jazz Kitchen

One of Eden's favorite movies is "The Princess and the Frog".

In said movie, Tiana is famous for her beignets.

We found out they serve beignets at dtd. So we tried them.

And they are delicious.

When we were thinking about Nienie's birthday party I told her maybe we could take a few friends to eat beignets. She was overjoyed with the idea.

And so the easiest birthday party ever was had.
