Ayyam'i'Ha snuck up on us pretty quickly this year. Especially since I arrived home just 2 days before. Needless to say, we didn't manage to do anything too dramatic and just kept things a little more low key - both for Eowyn's little birthday celebration, and for our Ayyam'i'Ha party.
Since Eowyn's birthday fell on a Thursday we decided to have a few people over after early pick up on Weds just to sing happy birthday and have some "cake" (really just apple cinnamon muffins!) It was a short and sweet little event, but I think she enjoyed the singing part, and of course biting into her very own muffin.

On Saturday we had a lunch party for Ayyam'i'Ha. We ended up keeping it small because the weather wasn't great and I wasn't up for a huge crowd. So we had the Dibberts, the Doves, the Millers (and the Walsers didn't make it). We had a pretty good time despite the lack of planning ahead of time, and it was the perfect opportunity to share some of the legos we received with our friends.
The back story to the legos: A TASIS parent had asked James if she could give us some of her son's old stuff, including legos. We said sure, expecting a little box. It turned out to be 6 or 7 whole sets of legos, which felt like WAY too much to keep for ourselves. So we decided to share them with others as our gift giving, along with some cookies that Eowyn and Liam helped make.
