Lucky for us, Vivian is growing up into a very sweet, caring, funny little girl, & for that we're super thankful. To celebrate her special day, we planned a non-party celebration with two of her buddies. Everything worked out perfectly, and I gotta say, if your child isn't into the idea of a party, it's all good. There are plenty of ways to celebrate in NYC!
First, we headed to a performance of Flight School, presented by the Vital Theatre, and showing this month only at the Marjorie S. Deane Little Theatre on West 64th Street & Central Park West. The Vital is known for their dynamic children's productions, so I knew we wouldn't be disappointed. And truly, how could a show about a penguin who wants to fly not be adorable? The songs were peppy & fun, & all the girls had an opinion about which character was their favorite post-show. And SPOILER: the penguin does fly, with a little help from his friends. Loved the message! To purchase tickets, click HERE.
Afterwards, we headed to Columbus Avenue for two of Vivian's favorite things in this world: pizza & cupcakes. I handed out necklaces & "fancy" headbands & after we had lunch (at a little hole in the wall place -- the best kind -- with a table just big enough for all of us) we headed down to the street to Magnolia's Bakery, because um... cupcakes!
Magnolia's is STILL good after all these years, & it will always hold a special place in my heart. And no, not just because of Sex & The City. I ate banana pudding there on my very first day in NYC, so what can I say, it brings back a whole lot of memories.
I kind of like that it can be part of Vivian's memories now, too. Happy Birthday, my love!
