Last Sunday her parents threw a big sister party to get her psyched. Barb and I are both youngest siblings, so Elizabeth had to do the heavy lifting of representing the older sibling. She did a good job. There were other friends and neighbors there with their kids -- big and little -- to offer whatever guidance or nuggets of wisdom they chose.

Above, Elizabeth and Lily are playing a memory game like Concentration. They had a minor difference of opinion on how to play it, which explains the look on Elizabeth's face -- that's consternation, not concentration.

When we were leaving the party, it was snowing! Snowing! In Portland, Oregon! On March 18! Two days before Spring! Kinda crazy.

Then we went to Grandma's for a delicious home-cooked meatloaf dinner. By that time the weather had turned clear and some gorgeous late-afternoon sunlight was drenching the room in photons. Both girls had a great time playing on Grandma's cushions and throw pillows.
All in all a very nice weekend.
