Where's the money?

Asher's friend Stella had her birthday party on Sunday, and Asher got to go and mingle with the older crowd (that's right, 5 and 6 year olds!)

There was a magician who transfixed the crowd of kids with amazing tricks with appearing and disappearing doves and rabbits, rope tricks, scarf tricks, card tricks - the whole shebang. He even made the birthday girl float! It was pretty great. Asher got called up and he found all sorts of money in Asher - in his ears, his hair, his sweater. He even helped Asher make money appear out of thin air!

Once we got home Deenesh turned Asher upside down and shook him to see if there was any more money hidden in there.

Stella was very sweet. At the end of the party when Asher went looking for her to say goodbye, she was hiding in the closet with 3 of her friends and dozens of others running around. Despite being in the midst of a game when Asher boldly approached the closet to declare "I need a hug!", Stella stepped right out and gave him a big hug.
