We were in Nice for Elan's actual birthday. We spent the afternoon on the pebbly beach and strolling through the old part of the town. As you can see above, Elan enjoyed some gelato, too (Clara was upset that only the birthday boy got whipped cream on top).
Elan celebrated with a sleepover party. He and 5 of his friends played tennis, soccer, and some games before watching a few movies. They all fell asleep by midnight and woke at 7am (it's great that running around can encourage fatigue). They seemed to have a good time with each other, and Elan had a blast. It was his first slumber party.
