Wow, so Elizabeth is actually (almost) 4 years old. The time is going sooo fast for us but I think we've learned more about how to be a team and having fun, even on the not so fun parts. Saturday was Elizabeth's birthday party (actual birthday is the 17th) and I think it was quite a bit of fun for all the little ones. Some time ago she had decided she wanted a Wendy birthday party. At first I didn't know what a Wendy party was but it didn't take long to realize it was Wendy Darling from Peter Pan, the whole thing just exploded from there. She asked for and of course received a Wendy dress from Grandma. It was so gorgeous on her. If Elizabeth was in costume you have to bet the rest of the kids were gonna do it also.
Jake, Julia's little guy came as Peter Pan and was so adorable of course and Elizabeth's cousins Candace as Wendy and Gillian, the red fairy.
As part of the party the kids went on a treasure hunt guided by a very special Peter Pan and Captain Hook! Lewis was Captain Hook and his brother, Ralph, who I blame for volunteering in the first place was Peter Pan. They were awesome and really got into it. You could not ask for two better sports! If they were going to do it they were doing it all the way.
They were all given their own very specially made by Grandma bags to hold their loot when they got the treasure. All I know is my budget went a long way with Easter candy on sale, their bags were really full!!
This is the map that birthday girl Wendy got to hold on their adventure. They actually went all the way through both playhouses in the backyard. It was quite the production...
I have a great friend that makes wonderful cakes, all I did was deliver the topper set. Thank you Erica! She really is amazing. I couldn't believe that you can't find anything with Peter Pan on it for a birthday party but you can buy a cake topper set...hmmmm come on Disney make the connection we don't all want Tinkerbell.
Just some random shots of a really fun day...
King Kong...I mean Anna Kate!
Thank you to both Red and White Grandma's for all the hard sewing work that went into making costumes and indian headbands and bags!!! Couldn't have done any of it without you! XOXO
