Little Miss E turns 5 on 4/25!

Supposedly turning 5 means 5 birthday celebrations. Elena had her 5th birthday party at Jump Planet. She invited all her classmates, friends from gymnastics, and of course Aubrie.

It was a strawberry theme party with cupcakes in the shape of and decorated like strawberries - yum! Everyone had a great time and Elena loved all her fabulous gifts which included a flower press, Barbie, and pony figures.

On her actual birthday, cousins Ruby, Nattie, and Tate came to celebrate. We had a weekend of fun which included a sleepover on Elena's floor, trip to the children's museum, chicken and french fry dinner with Auntie, Auntie Terry, and Walt, and a trip to Chuck E. Cheese.

At school, Elena had her celebration of life. A candle is lit to represent the sun and Elena holds the Earth ball and walks around the sun for every year since she was born. Pictures and interesting facts are shared from each year of her life.

Everyone sings and they share a special treat. Elena brought in strawberries and kitty Warrick!

Elena also celebrated being 5 with Grandma and Grandpa and her own personal pizza! Alfy's Pizza honors birthday girls and boys with a free pizza on their birthday. Elena got plain cheese and we added the candles and sang Happy Birthday.
Elena got a Nintendo DSi for her birthday from Mommy and Daddy. She loves that it is blue and can play it in the car on trips. Her favorite game is Gardening Mama which Auntie gave her as a birthday gift.
Happy 5th Birthday Elena! Wishing you many more wonderful celebrations!
