Party Time!!

Ellie was spoiled this year with 2 parties. She wanted to have a Hula party at our house and she wanted to invite her whole preschool class and her other friends. So we decided to have a separate party for her preschool friends because I didn't want too big of a party at the house. On Ellie's birthday we went to the pumpkin patch and invited her preschool friends. Ellie invited her teacher, Mrs. Bontrager, and the owner of the preschool, Mrs. Wilkins. Both of them came. This made all the kids so happy! It was a small celebration but it was tons of fun. The pumpkin patch had bounce houses, hay ride, pumpkin decorating, mazes and animals. It was an easy party...all we had to do was bring pizza and cake!

Ellie had been planning on a hula party with our family and playgroup friends at our house for months. I think the movie Lilo and Stitch inspired her love of hula. She practiced a special hula dance that she wanted to perform for everyone for weeks. Unfortunately, Ellie had strep throat and we had to postpone the party for a week. Daddy gave Ellie an early birthday present because she a little bummed but she really was too sick to even be that upset about the party being cancelled.  

 

Thankfully, most of our friends and family could make the party the next week. It was a fun day. Ellie got to perform her hula while some of her little buddies played the music along her. They danced the limbo, had sack races, clobbered a piñata and Auntie Angie did her face painting magic.

It was a fun fun night. Well worth the wait!
