Isabel ran around in her Mermaid Dora swimsuit, along with a plastic birthday tiara that her aunt had given her earlier in the day. She was followed by her almost-6-year old cousin, Daisy. Her two older cousins, 8-year old Chris and 12-year old Marcus, were climbing out of the pool.
Mike was sitting in a chaise lounge, talking about an old case with Donnie Cragen. Millie, meanwhile, was sitting with her feet in the pool, next to one of her sisters-in-law, Gracie, gossiping about people they knew from the neighborhood they'd both grown up in.
Cole and Max headed around the house toward where everyone else was. Max was in his trunks and rashguard. Cole was in some khaki cargo shorts and a t-shirt. Max charged off when he spotted Isa,"Hi Isa!"
Isabel grinned and waved at Max. "Hi, Max!" She pointed to Daisy, who Max may've met at Isa's birthday the year before. "This is my cousin, Daisy." Daisy, shyer than Isabel, waved silently to Max.
Millie, meanwhile, waved to Cole from where she sat at the edge of the pool with Gracie. "Yo, Hayes."
Isabel scrambled up onto a chair, next to the table where all the presents were. Her excitement was obvious and she clapped her hands as Millie took the first present off of the table and handed it to her.
OOC: So pretty much, just comment with what your present is - whoever wants to can go first, and then she'll get to open it, etc...
Max and Cole both watched her opening the presents. Max had picked out both but Cole was sure she would like the mermaid outfit and a the mermaid Barbie that came with a dolphin.
Millie handed Isabel the gift bag from the Hayeses. "This is from Cole and Max, Isa."
Isabel grinned and dug into the bag. First she pulled out the mermaid Barbie. "Ohhh! Mami, lookit!" She waved the box around. Millie grinned. Isabel's cousins and the other kids crowded around to look at the doll as well. Isabel dug further and pulled out the mermaid costume. Her eyes widened. "It'ssa mermaid!" She giggled.
Millie was amused. "What do you say?" Isabel beamed at Cole and Max. "Thank you, Max-an'-Cole!"

Cole chuckled his kid was pretty good at picking out toys that his friend would like. "You're welcome.'
