Before her party, EB had requested the pink cake with pink sugar pearls and randomly one day added that she wanted a "princess cake" with a dog on it -- which she had seen at her friend Sophia's party. So, I grabbed the cutest little doll I could find at the store, used her Lego doll, and bought an Olivia family in case she changed her mind. She did. No princess dress for the doll, and she wanted ALL of the friends on the cake. Pretty perfect if you ask me ...
All week, I was checking the weather, since 40 people just won't fit in our house. We lucked out with warm weather and no rain! We let the kiddos play for the first hour ...
The girls wore their new birthday dresses; EB was in love with the skirt!
Then we all had lunch ...
I got all the kiddos to agree to a photo by promising them cake if they sat down ...
Success! On the ground - Lydia (she would not sit with anyone!), Front row - Sophia, Caroline, EB, Camille, Rebekah, and Rylan; Second Row - Keegan, Josie, Elle, Conner, Thomas, Brian; In the back - Olive, Rylan's brother Liam, Rebekah's brother Stephen
singing Happy Birthday and attempting to keep the candles lit in the wind
oh, such sweet girls
presents followed ...
and then passing out the favor bags ...
All in all, a party that was just what she wanted.
