This year we had a low key b-day for Elaina. We just had a family birthday party. It was fun. Not much to report other then there was cake, presents, ice cream, and one excited 3 year old girl. What else do you want out of a birthday party??
Speaking of cake.... our dear friends, Carl and Sabrina, offered to make her cake this year. They made her cake on her first birthday too. They brought it over mostly constructed but had some assembly to do so it was a perfect project to enlist the help of Elaina on. She loved helping and it was cute to watch her do it.
Here is a pic of the cake they made on her first birthday...
Here is Elaina and Carl working on putting her 3rd b-day cake together...
Here she is helping Sabrina make her cupcakes for the top
And placing candles on top..
The final product. SO incredibly cute. BTW- Elaina picked this cake out from some books Sabrina had. It's pink - that's all Elaina cared about was that her birthday party was "pink."
Here are some pics of the b-day girl with her finished cake.
Once everyone got here, it was present opening time..Needless to say, she was thrilled about this. This is her opening her princess soccer ball. My dad, who is an avid lover of soccer, was thrilled she got this - NOT.
All smiles....
After everyone left, Erik and I realized we did not give her her big gift from us - her scooter. DUH!! We completely forgot - what were we thinking?? So, we brought it down after everyone left. She love this thing and rides it all the time.
She did not get a nap that day so this was her during dinner.. She was actually eating with her eyes closed. I just kept shoveling it in and she would open her mouth and chew - eyes closed the entire time. It was very funny.
Thanks to all our family for coming to spoil Elaina on her b-day. She had a wonderful time and loves you all so much
And, a special thanks to Carl and Sabrina for the cake! You guys are amazing friends and so special to us... and great cake decorators/bakers :)
