It was another fun-filled weekend with Elani at our house and we celebrated her birthday, too!
I picked her up on Friday afternoon and we had lunch together and played at the house and later went to JC Penney's for her annual Birthday Photo-shoot. She was a little model - She does so good and poses so cute - Can't wait to get those pictures back. After we went to "Build-a-Bear" and Elani picked out the SHREK for her very own project, so we stuffed, added a heart, washed and blew it dry and then got him a birth certificate and away we went to our next destination - "Toys R Us" where Elani was crowned the Birthday Queen and received a balloon too. She then made her away around the store looking for the one special thing that she could take home. (She had a $3.00 birthday coupon to spend). She found a Lightning McQueen Car to add to her collection and home we went.
Sabbath we went to Sabbath School where they celebrated her birthday again with a pretend cake and candles and a special birthday song as Elani sat in the special birthday chair taking it all in. She had a ball that day in Sabbath School. After a delicious dinner and a little nap we met Elani's parents at Chuck E Cheese for dinner and games. Again, Elani was crowned the Birthday Girl, given a crown and a balloon. She opened some presents there as we waited for our pizza and then she played and played with her papa on the rides and games and winding maze. It was finally time to go home and have Birthday Cake and open more surprises. Everyone came to our house and we sang "Happy Birthday" and Elani blew out her candles and we ate some delicious cake, that by the way was all decorated with Lightning McQueen. Grandpa had all the large gifts hid outside, so we had Elani sit on the floor and cover her eyes as he brought them in individually. First the Sit 'n' Spin, then the Big Red Wagon from Great Grandma and Grandpa Higel, then the Outdoor Sports Center and the finale of Elani's very own Mud Runner battery-powered Jeep! She knew just what to do, too. She climbed right in and her mama and papa strapped on the bicycle helmet that they got her and away she went (with a little instruction of what to push and how to drive). Unfortunately, it was too dark for her to ride outside so she drove in the house for a while. It will be fun to watch her go when she gets it outside!! All in all, it was a great Birthday Weekend for a little girl turning 3.
