You are my Sunshine Birthday Party!!

I am finally getting around to uploading all the pictures from Elizabeth's birthday party! Our theme of "You are my Sunshine" came out really cute! We had sun's on the cupcakes, tissue paper suns hanging from the ceiling, sun garland hanging, and the room was filled with yellow, orange and pink! Elizabeth had a great time! Elizabeth even had some friends come to the party!

Stephanie Austin came by and took pictures, which was wonderful, I did not have to worry about it at all! She has become a very sweet friend!

Here are the cupcakes! They were very yummy! The fondant also made for neat (or at least neater) cupcake eating for the toddlers!


Tissue paper suns and Elizabeth's chair was set infront of the special Birthday Wall!


I hung up a picture of Elizabeth for each month - it was amazing to see how much she has grown!!


It has become a tradition to spell out the Birthday person's name in streamers - I added pictures all around her name!

This was Elizabeth's first time playing with balloons, Mommy was nervous!

Presents!!


Yummy snacks!

Every party has to have goodie bags!




Jasmine and Bianca are a set of twins in Elizabeth's class at church! We were so glad they came!



Maddie was there too! She was as beauitful as ever! (And her really cute skirt was hand made by Mandy!)


Grandma Sharon gave Elizabeth a bunch of crocheted food and a little tikes kitchen - it was a big hit!

Justin, Micah and Maddie all playing during the party! (Justin is Bianca & Jasmine's brother)

Party mingling!

Justin being sweet!


I found a bow!

Time for presents!

It took a little help to figure out how to tear the paper!


One of the cards has a small bumble bee attached to a little spring, Elizabeth loved it! She did not put it down the whole time!


Hmmm... What is in here?


Mommy and Daddy got Elizabeth a dollhouse

It was an instant hit with all!





The baby goes on the roof - where else would she go?

Micah being sweet with the sock monkey!


Serious play!


Cake time!!


Happy Birthday to you!!"

I don't think she knew what to do!

Mommy, is this really for me?

Hmmm... it is sticky....

Very sticky...


Here Mom, you take this...




She still has not tasted it!

Here we go! It finally made it to her mouth!

Hmm... This is pretty good...

This is really good!


She did some serious damage to that cake! (But don't worry, most of it is on the floor!)

Time for clean up!

Sammy contemplating how good his cupcake is

We asked everyone to give a piece of wisdom or encouragement for Elizabeth when she turns 18
