Princess For A Day

Ellison's Aunt Marie, Aunt Ana, & her grandparents threw her a big princess-themed birthday party while we were there. They went all out spoiling little Mookie - she had 2 princess dresses to choose from to wear for the big shindig, a tiara, a necklace & earrings, sparkly shoes or princess slippers to choose from (she was ADDICTED to the pink sparkly shoes, but they were too big so she had a hard time clomping around in them; but anytime she spotted them when Mommy's hiding spots weren't that good, they were on her faster than you can say Christian Laboutin), in addition to the other birthday goodies. It was a great time! Thanks, everyone!The yummy cake (that remains on Mommy's hips to this day)

Princess preparations - lunch before the party


E loved her Titis' tupperware cupboard. You can tell by the look on her face that she thinks she's getting into something she shouldn't be.

The first to arrive - Ellison's cousin Ruthie and her daughter Zaina. Ell & Zaina were coloring together.

E had to be plopped right down in front of the bowl of chips


Daddy & Mookie


With the size of the partial ginormous Soto family that was at the party - you can imagine how great the "Happy Birthday" song sounded to Ell.



We had a hard time keeping E's fingers out of the cake long enough for a pic with her grandparents


Yummy ice cream!
