2008 in Review - Elissa's 4th Birthday

Elissa's Birth-DAY
Thursday, 5-29-08
She's Four today!
Wednesday Elissa was talking about how she was looking forward to getting presents the next day and I hadn't gotten her any presents to open on her actual birthday, just for her party. So after she went to bed I went to Target to get her a few little things to open.
This is what she woke up to in the morning.
Hello Kitty outfit to wear for the day.
A groovy girl cat and carrier.
Roses for her room. :o)
Daddy wishing her happy birthday!
All dressed up for the day!
I surprised Elissa by taking her to the bouncy place for an hour. We picked up Nana and then Cole & Chase met us there with Grandma & Papa. They had a lot of fun, of course!
After the bouncy place we headed to McDonalds for lunch and to play in their playland.
We finished off the day meeting Daddy at Red Robin and having her sung to. She was a bit overwhelmed when they all came over to sing, but enjoyed it.

Elissa's Birthday Party
Saturday, 5-31-08

She had a Little Mermaind/Pirate party. She said specifically that she wanted a mermaid dance party. Hmmmm....I did my interpretation. :0)
It was, of course, a rainy day since the party was planned outside. Last year was probably one of the hottest days of the year. You just never can tell. We had to move the decorations from the main part of the deck to the little space that was covered.
I didn't realize when I picked up the cake that they misspelled Elissa's name. Oops!
But it was pretty!
Bubbles to similate being under the sea.
Musical fish for the "dance" part of the party. They had to dance while the music way playing and then when it stopped they had to run to get on a fish on the ground.
Let's limbo!
Mommy & Daddy gave Lissy a new big girls bike for her birthday.
Happy Birthday E-li-ssa.....
Happy Birthday to you......
Blow!
We hope all your wishes come true!
