elmo party!

On Saturday (before Caleigh's birthday which was on Thanksgiving Day this year) we celebrated Caleigh's 2nd birthday with her 2 or almost 2 year old friends. We had a playdoh party with an Elmo theme. Here are Camilla, Sam, and Caleigh playing with some playdoh.

After the playdoh fun died down, it was time for Elmo cupcakes - Elmo paper, yellow cake, chocolate icing, Elmo candy, and a sparkly candle for Caleigh! Happy Birthday to Caleigh... (she LOVED us singing to her and we sang to her many times that day - when she woke up in the morning, before and after her nap, at her party, before dinner...) Mmmm... And Caleigh's friends who celebrated with us that day - Sam (who also almost broke my heart when he left at the end saying, "I want to come next time..." but next time Caleigh has a birthday Sam will be in Prague helping his parents and baby Foard plant a church) Harrison Maggie and Camilla After cupcakes and snacks we opened presents.

Caleigh is giving Milla a hug saying 'And you' (thank you) for her presents... All the moms were there (and baby Foard) And Daddy helped open the presents. Caleigh is sporting her loot - a new dress from Maggie (that Carrie made!) and a purse. Thanks to all of Caleigh's friends who celebrated with her to make her birthday extra special!
