Once we got home from school, everything turned to crap and I was in a terrible mood. I was trying to set up and it started to rain. I was stuck outside under a canopy until the rain stopped. It was nice the day before the party and for a week after the party, but it had to rain the day of. I kept going back and forth with having the party inside or outside. Finally 1hr before the party I decided to have it outside. I had to set up the popcorn machine, snow cone machine, food, cake, decorations and games. I had made the cotton candy the day before.
Once the guests arrived we ate some yummy food and then played the games. We had Ring Toss, Knock down the cans, Bean Bag Toss and Tight Rope Walk; I made all the games myself. I had big plans for where the games were going to be and made banners but the rain had a say in that. I am very thankful that it did not rain once the party started. The kids had so much fun playing the games and getting all their loot.
Then we ate cake and ice cream; I also made the cake. Once we were finishing up with that our special guest arrived...Bobber The Clown. OMG, he was FANTASTIC. We were all laughing so much. He got the kids involved in the act. During his show he ended up giving Elizabeth; $5.50, a stuffed bunny and bear, princess wand, GC to a restaurant, made her a cake during his show, a photo of him and of course made everyone balloons. I would have him back anytime, he was great. After his show it was getting late and we decided to move inside to open gifts.
She got so many wonderful gifts; Ariel costume, shoes and crown; Aurora costume, crown and shoes; princess books, Earth book, Squinkies, Littest Pet Shop, Princess Celestia Horse, Balloon flip flops, TinkerBell hair bows, Baby Doll, Barbie Car with Barbie, Princess make-up kit, TinkerBell hat and gloves, chalk board, Fancy Nancy Doll, Princess Magic cupcakes and a Glo-E bear.
I was so thankful that the rain stopped, Bobber was so great, my friends were fantastic and that my little Elizabeth had a blast. I cannot believe that she is already 3. I have no idea where time has gone but I will say that we are having the time of our lives. It seems like yesterday I found out we were pregnant with her. She is such a joy to be around, always wanting to do everything her sister is doing. She has an attitude and when things do not go her way she is crabby but I still just want to pinch her little butt. She weighs 34lbs - 50th percentile, height 34.75 inches - 75th percentile and her BMI is in the 75th percentile. She got one shot and did not even know that it happened. Took her to Toys R Us, Stone Cold and Red Robin for all her free birthday gifts. I am just so thankful that she is in our lives and that we get to call her our own. I love you, Elizabeth Angelina Quintana.
