The great berry battle

Another "fairy" game was the great berry battle. One of the Disney Fairy books is called Beck and the Great Berry Battle, so I decided to make it one of our party games. We had tons of fun playing it with Grandma and Grandpa.
Then Connor and Fletcher came over and Elle got to play AGAIN!!
Yea for friends. Check out the berries in motion!

Gifts!

A dress from Grandma and Grandpa Hales















Two aprons from mom.




































Head bands from the chic Target

The gifts

I know, I know. She is SO spoiled. I even took back three more presents that I bought and decided I should save them until Christmas! Can you say "Overkill"?
thank you Grandma and Grandpa Harvey!
She loved the thumb pad to make 'thumb people' and 'thumb animals' You should read that out loud.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Hales! She loves Junie B. Jones

the earrings

It has been two months since Elle got her ears pierced, so she was expecting (and received) new earrings.
You can't tell, but they're a pair of litle white gold beads and gold dogs
The hole.

The best for last!

Elle decided to save the biggest for last.

The mess

After all those presents, we had an after-Christmas-like mess!
Elle was still pretty happy, but the second picture shows how she was really feeling by this time--TIRED!!

The cake

Elle wanted a neverland cake, so I did my best to create it. She specefically asked for blue coconut water and graham cracker sand.

What a great day! We were all pooped when it was done!
