This is our tradition of chocolate-chip pancakes for the birthday breakfast. Normally it is served to the guest of honor on our red "You are Special" plate, but a silly mom had packed it away without thinking. Sorry Ellie, I swear you are still so special!Here are pics from Ellie's Birthday party. She had a great time! We started out with bubbles to make everyone feel happy and forget the fact that their parents were dropping them off and running away. It worked like a charm. There were no tears!
We followed that up with opening gifts so we had some toys to play with, because that silly mom has almost every toy in the house packed too. She really is not all that fun or smart...Luke was more excited to be in the pictures than he was about what Ellie was receiving.
Such a doll (a manly doll of course)!
Of course we had to then play with all the gifts. Ellie got an ironing board, a Velcro cookie set, four dollars in total, a balloon, bubbles, three books, and a magnet dress-up doll.
We then needed to refuel our little bodies with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and whale crackers (a favorite thanks to Miss BJ), and milk.
And of course we can not forget about birthday cake!
Which the little princess refused to eat unless daddy hand spooned it to her.
We did of course sing Happy Birthday, blow on party sticks, and giggle a whole bunch!
Thanks to everyone who made Ellie's first ever 2nd birthday party a blast.!
Oh how I miss Chocolate Chip Pancakes with lots of whipped cream. My husband thinks I'm crazy for liking that combo(he doesn't like chocolate all that much and he hates whipped cream). Plus, it has never been the same eating them with someone other than you.
ReplyDeleteSounded like a fun(for the kids) and exhausting(for you) party.
