Our baby is Five Years Old!

January 15, 2012 Elizabeth is five years old!

So I still have lots of photos to post from Elizabeth's actual birthday. And am so behind in all of my postings, but at my dear friend's request I am going to post photos from Elizabeth's 5th birthday party extravaganza which took place January 22nd, a week after her actual birthday. And what an extravaganza it was. Took weeks of preparation and lots of stress--but it was worth every every minute of time. Elizabeth had a Rapunzel party with 20 of her closest friends! LOL. Elizabeth was so thrilled and LOVED every minute of the party. Here are so preliminary photos I took and I have not had time to edit or touch up, but you will get the idea. I will add more commentary later. Here she is in front of the Castle Cloud. She loves all the personalized stuff. The challenge is what do I do with it after the party. Actually if I left the number off we could use it next year. I know what you are thinking, "another princess party?". What can I say? When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Elizabeth usuallys starts with "princess". She often follows that with "doctor", "restaurant owner", etc. So maybe she will be a princess doctor

There were about 20 girls and 3 boys at the party. Each kid was cuter than the next and so well behaved and just having a ball throughout the entire party.

Elizabeth with Rapunzel. Elizabeth did not leave Rapunzel side from the moment she arrived until the moment she left. She was mesmerized by her-as were most of the girls.
