Aviva had a birthday party. There was a cat theme. The kids made cat pillows (that were really really cute and nice, made/started by Abuelita), ate a cat cake (thanks to Nana and Papa), got cat stamps and cat stickers (Josh's idea), were going to play a cat game led by Josh, read a selection of cat books (picked out by Yona), had the option to have their faces painted like cats (by Noah, and only partaken by Aviva), and ate rice cake cat faces (made by Josh). Also, Noah made balloon animals and taught some others to twist balloons into different shapes.

Other notes (having nothing to do with Aviva's birthday):
- "ovey-alls" = overalls
- "humdallah" = havdalah
- "coke yard" and sometimes "coat yard" = courtyard
- Baby Piggy is sick and she has a favor. (similar to a fever, but possibly different)
- also, sometimes Baby Piggy has a feeling
