Partying With Elmo

We had a great time yesterday at the kids' birthday party. If I'm counting right we had 8 kids and 13 adults. The kids played in the sandbox and on the play set until everyone arrived. Then we played Pin the nose on the Elmo, which was won by Daniel, who is 3 weeks older than Alexa. The kids also did a scavenger hunt around the backyard and then colored Elmo and Big Bird coloring sheets. Then it was time for the Elmo and Big Bird cake that Caleb had picked out, along with Chex Mix, Gogurt, and fruit. Finally, the kids opened presents and everyone played for a few more minutes before heading home. Here are some of the best pictures.

Our new deck all "decked" out for the party.
