Greek to Me

The boys sadly missed dressing up in costumes when we were in California at the end of October. I thought we could sneak in a few togas for Levi's birthday party instead. They couldn't decide whether they wanted to be Spartan soldiers or citizens of Athens, so we mixed it up a little. (They discarded the armor and weapons for the photo.)

Ilex always throws herself whole-heartedly into occasions such as this. She joined the boys in her toga, helped make the wreathes for their heads, and illustrated Levi's birthday card. (Aunt Shannon, Ilex's 'twin', also arrived in a toga. Have I mentioned what a cool family I have?)

I can't believe I have a 7 year-old!
