What did Eliana request for dinner? Grilled cheese sandwiches. That was easy enough to whip up. That day, Eliana elected to boycott her nap, so she was super tired by the evening. After dinner, we did candles and cupcakes, but as you can see, it's hard being excited about your birthday when you'd rather be going to bed.
Karina enjoyed the cupcakes too. Actually, she will usually eat anything that's put in front of her.
One of the presents she got was a digital camera from her grandparents. It takes pictures, has a flash and zoom, and you can download the pictures to a computer. Also, it's kid-proof--it seems sturdy enough to survive a drop it from a second story building.
It's also pretty easy to use. Eliana got the hang of it right away.
Eliana also requested "princess" dresses for her birthday. So Emily found some.
Eliana also got a new pair of scissors. She's getting much better at cutting and can now cut out basic shapes. But we still don't trust her fully and the scissors live in a drawer that is out of her reach for now.
And then on Saturday, Eliana had yet ANOTHER party, this time with her little friends. Eliana requested a tea party and we did our best to comply. We filled the tea pot with lemonade (Eliana's favorite), put pink paper plates over frilly placemates and topped it all off with white and pink streamers and ballons.
After a light lunch, the girls got to ice their cupcakes and sprinkle different types of sprinkles on top.
The cupcake is really just a icing and sprinkle delivery device...
