Birthday

Lena's birthday was on May 15th and she turned 2!  I thought and thought about what I was going to make her for a cake.  She really likes the bubble guppies but they don't have party supplies in bubble guppies yet.  So I did an Elmo and Sesame Street theme.  I made an Elmo chocolate cake and Elmo yellow cupcakes.  They looked great!

Jeni and Patrick came over for Lena's birthday.  Lena took a late nap that day so she was sleeping when the Gabella's arrived.  She woke up soon after and had a meltdown at seeing new people over.  We ate outside and Lena clung to me like a little monkey.  She warmed up pretty quickly and was playing ball with Jeni in about 1/2 hour.  We decided to eat our cake and cupcakes later and sang the Happy Birthday song which brought on a new round of tears.  I tried to hold the candle over to Lena to blow it out but dripped wax on her leg.  She now is afraid of the candles.  Bad mommy! 

After eating we went inside and opened up her present.  We got her a Princess vanity with a keyboard.  She loved it.  She played and played until she went to bed. 

It was a great birthday (aside from the wax on the leg).  Lena knew exactly who was on the cake and cupcakes which was great!  She loved the party!
