Happy Birthday Yael

Yesterday my grandchildren turned 7.

This is the first year they got separate birthday parties.

Aaron invited his soccer teammates to an indoor soccer match at the Alameda Navel Station airplane hanger. They had a bouncy house too I understand.

I went with daughter and grand daughter to join twelve other girlfriends

to this delightful little art studio called 4Cats.

 The walls were covered in canvas' of copied art of all the famous artists.

 If you can read the sign from out front it explains the name as that of a cafe where a young Picasso and his friends hung out to discuss art....

 Each of the 12 guests were set up with a table easel and canvas, paints and brush...and told to draw a flower like Georgia O'Keeffe...

 Mom, my daughter, checks out her daughters masterpiece.

 Best friend, Ella, is a serious artist too.

 The studio originated in Canada, and this is the first of it's kind in the USA...in Berkeley!

 Thinking back on it it was the quietest birthday party I'd ever attended. Everyone was so quiet while they drew and painted. After wards they ate cake in a different room and sang

Happy Birthday in French, Hebrew and English!

 My grand daughter's finished painting!!!

Color me Proud Grand MaMa!
