Elena turns Two!

What a great weekend, our little princess turned two on Sunday! We started out the celebration on Saturday by going to Chuck E Cheese's. Elena loved riding the horse (she has some old school Southern Utah accent and says Harse instead of horse)pretty cute!!!! I had so much fun, watching the kids choose their games they wanted to play and put their tokens in. I say "I" because Matt was busy playing games of his own.....needless to say....about 50 tokens later Matt finally won the "Flaming Finger" game and won a ton of tickets. He also hit the 250 bonus tickets on another game and Cody won a thing of Cotton Candy on the same game. This is a picture of the tickets shooting out, and Cody holding his coupon for Cotton Candy. Thanks to Matt we had enough tickets to cash in for a big glitter ball that the kids love to play with. So Chuck E, looks like you did it again... Fun night, great food and entertainment for all of us.

I then spent all night and into the wee hours of the morning making Elena's birthday cake. It is a Lola Cake. (this is a little girl from my favorite TV show Charlie and Lola) and it turned out to be a big hit! Elena couldn't stop looking at it. I am happy with the way it turned out. And again.... thanks to the Lisa Hatch frosting recipe, it tasted pretty good too. We had my brother John and his wife and kids come over for cake and ice cream. It was nice to have others there to help us eat the cake.


No siGn of GiRliEeNesS heRE!!!
That is a lie for sure! I don't know quite what to call her..... Princess, Diva, Lil' Miss???..... nothing seems strong enough to emphasize the amount of girl that comes out of this little darling. The presents just kept coming and so did the amount of BLING that was layered on. She just couldn't get enough of it. From high heels to necklaces, to rings, sunglasses, bracelets, and tiaras. and don't forget the pretend lip stick! (So glad to know that the girl is content with the fake plastic lipstick!! And I have no intentions of buying the real stuff for quite sometime!!!!!) And at the end of the day, she was decked out and could hardly keep all of her accessories placed on her body. We sure love you Elena! Your smile is SOOO contagious and we can't get enough of your giggles. We are so blessed to have you as ours.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!!!!
