5 Little Guests = 1 Big Birthday Bash!

Here she is!

(She was nearly a disaster - but we recovered well!)

Table set for making candy necklaces...

Bunting hung...

Craft project #1 ready to go...

Chalk drawing... check.

Favor bags lined up and ready to go...

And here she is!

Everybody in their finest!

Luna loved her cake.

Tess was pretty bewildered by the whole ordeal.

The girls donned "Gelbe Saks" while they painted their canvases.

Gramps distracted Tess.

Getting hands washed was quite the adventure!

Playing Pass the Parcel, while the paintings were blow dried by Gramma.

Opening gifts.

Time for chow.

How are you supposed to put candles in this thing?

The look on her face makes it all worth it!!!

Finished projects ready to go...

Jumping on the trampoline at pick-up time.  This is what they all really wanted to do all along!  (Luna told me this was her favorite part... memo to self for next year!)

What about me?

Look Who's 5!

We like to celebrate birthdays FIRST thing in the morning, so we prepared Luna's haul the night before.

And then got up early!

Some special birthday muffins were in order...

Although I think Luna was too excited to eat hers!

Papa was put straight onto unpacking duty...  he was over the moon.

A special package from Oma and Opa.

We hope to start ballet lessons this fall.

And a special surprise from Gramma and Grampa.

She got lots of "Lalaloopsy" from mom and Dad.

Lalaloopsy is "sew" cute. 

And a party dress for Saturday!

Tess was mildly bewildered.

More Lalaloopsy...

And plenty of time for some play before school!

Here she is!

How old are you Luna?

5!

And after school I surprised her with some birthday cupcakes!  She was allowed to eat as many as she wanted, even right before dinner!

It was a great day!
