Elmo Birthday Party

We had Laneah's birthday party a little early because my mom was in town visiting. This year her party decorations and cake were Elmo themed. We just invited immediate family this year so Laneah could be herself and have fun.

Things kicked off with yummy Papa Johns pizza. She was so excited that she could blow this party favor.

After eating and socializing, it was time for presents. Laneah enjoyed opening them this year, but she would get mad because she wanted to open the toy and play with it instead of moving on to the next gift. Christmas will be fun because she can take all the time she wants opening her presents.
She got all kinds of presents: legos, dress up shoes, tiaras, legos, a princess castle, a kitchen and more.

I love Laneah's face in this video as she opens her present!

Laneah was really cute with the cake this year. She was able to blow out the candle and had us sing twice. She is still talking about her "Elmo cake".

She ate all of her cake and ice cream and made quite a mess. She had icing all over her clothes so we had to strip her down to her onesie.
It was great having Nana there for the party!
Then it was time to finally play with the presents. Laneah put on her dress shoes and a tiara and played with her new toys with her cousins Anthony and Blake.
Happy Birthday Princess!
