Priya got out of school early to go ride the train for the very first time!
|
|
|
She is quite thrilled by the entire experience and loves watching the world go by from the train's window
|
We got off at the Burlingame station and Priya went running to play in Washington Park on Burlingame Ave
|
|
|
Priya's most favorite thing in the park is to swing

Okay, Priya, now it's time to blow out the candle...
|
...you've been practicing all month for this moment!!!

Good job, Priya! Did you make a wish??
|
The cake had two of Priya's favorite flavors: carrot on top, chocolate cake with vanilla frosting on the bottom
|
|
|
Shane and Abby seem to be enjoying their cake
|
The party crowd all settles down to eat their yummy cake

Priya got her hand painted by Aina at the very end of the party
