The Party

Laurel couldn't decide on a theme for her 5th birthday party, but she knew it couldn't be a girly party because it was very important to her that Jake be invited.  He is her favorite.   So we had a good old fashioned balloons and streamers kind of party.  Everyone had a great time.

 An awesome ice cream cake by the best Ice Cream Co in town.

 Laurel was super excited to have cousin E and friend Elena at the party.  They were in town for the holidays.

 We played "Pin the bow on My Little Ponies Tail" - and the boys even got into it.

 Thank goodness Jake did come to the party.  Who on earth would have busted that pinata if we hadn't had him around?   Of course, after everyone had a few turns, we let Laurel have at it.  Later Laurel told me that was the best part of the party.  She liked hitting the pinata "over and over."  - She has an aggressive streak.

 Happy Birthday!  Again!
