Flip Flop Pool Party

Saturday, 5-29-10

Thankfully, I had planned for Elissa to have an indoor party this year. Her party has been outdoors for all her previous ones. The weather was horrible today, but it was nice and warm inside the YMCA!

The theme was a flip flop pool party.....love it! I just happened upon a flip flop outfit at Gymboree and then we embellished flip flops for a craft project.

She was all set and ready to go!
I let her put on colored nail polish for the occasion. Usually she can only where clear. She was VERY excited. :-)
I LOVE her outfit! :-)

The girls decorated their own flip flops.....
and the boys colored snakes, t-rex's & cars.

Then on to cake!
Mom and Dad made the cake & cupcakes for me. They followed a video and did such a GREAT job!
One of her friends asked what she wished for and she smiled and shrugged "I don't know." I think she forgot to wish. :-)
Cole, Jaice, Chase, Morgan, Helper Susan, Elissa, Olivia, Karisma and Charis
  Elissa and Hailey
Friends from Preschool

Presents!!
I'm not sure where she saw a pogo stick, but she has been saying that she has wanted one for about a month so Grandma & Papa got her one.
















Cole didn't really want to sit with Elissa. :-)
I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it, but Holly got Elissa a scrapbook kit. She was very excited. When we got home she said that she could now go scrapbooking with me and my friends....um, no. LOL!
Elissa was VERY excited to get a Hannah Montana purse from Hailey. I don't let her watch or buy her any of the Hannah Montana stuff, though she wants to have all her "rockin' stuff". She wants to grow up way too fast. :-(
Our first Zhu, Zhu pet.
Don't you just love Olivia's dress?!
Elissa made Papa come up and sit in the chair by her. :-)
Then Grandma Myrna.
Thanks to Grandma Myrna, the kids had a tinsel-like decorative packing was all over the place in seconds. The kids loved it!

Now what they have all been patiently waiting for.....Swimming!!




It was a fun, fun party!

That flip flop cake is adorable! I love it. I am risking having an outdoor pool party for Heidi...it's still 3 weeks away but I'm hoping this weather shapes up. Happy Birthday Elissa!
