I'm a bit behind, but Scarlett turned 5 last Saturday and we had a very busy, very fun weekend to celebrate. Right after school on Friday, we took her to get her ears pierced. She jumped a little when they pierced them, but said it didn't really hurt. After that we went to the mall and she got to build her birthday build a bear. Then we went to dinner at the "China Place" aka P.F. Chang's. On a side note, I didn't know until our last visit, but they are very considerate of food allergies. We told our server and he let the kitchen know and they prepared Scarlett's meal away from any peanuts. By Saturday morning, all the grandparents had made it into town and we were ready to celebrate! Her party was at Elmwood Gymnastics and it was fantastic! Between Scarlett's friends and a few younger siblings Elle's age, we had close to 15 kids. They played on the tumble track, big trampoline, floor and some of the preschool mats and equipment. After that we had pizza and double doozie cookie cake (delicious!). When the party was over we came home and had VooDoo BBQ and more cookie cake while Scarlett opened her presents.
Friday night - getting her ears pierced! Oh, I forgot to mention that we had Fuzzy, the class monkey with us for the weekend! Here he is, holding Scarlett tight.
My big 5 year old!
Her cake. We didn't have a specific party theme, but she saw this penguin cake and had to have it!

Elle wasn't sure she wanted to participate at first, but she ended up having a great time!
And the grand finale! She thought this was awesome!
