Elena turned 5 on February 6th. For about a month she has been planning her "Tea Party". It was really fun! Rachel, Elena, and two of her friends enjoyed time at the "spa" where they got to have their hair and makeup done by Aunt Katie and I. During that time, they also got to do their own nails. After being pampered we took some "glamor shots" of each of them. Then on to the tea party. Elena was convinced that they were not going to talk with silly English accents, but having all of them sitting down in front of a nice tea set with "servants" (Katie and I) at their beck and call, the proper English came out, as did excellent manners and quiet voices. It was just as much fun for Katie and I to listen to them talk as it was for them to be there. They would raise their hands each time they needed something. If we forgot our towels on our arms, they would graciously remind us. Aspen also asked us if we could do a talent show after we served them. That sure threw us for a loop but Between the two of us, Katie and I were able to pull off "Be Our Guest", singing almost all the words, and doing some dancing too. It made us feel young again, but I'm glad the video camera wasn't out while we were doing our thing. What a fun birthday it was!

What a neat party for Elena. All your kids are blessed with a pretty special mom. You are the best, Heidi. We love you........and Ben and the kids, too.
How Fun! where were you when I was trying to plan Skyler's party. You are too creative!
Fun party. Those pictures are great. They're the kind that you look at and get a glimpse of what they're growing up to be. So fun. Happy Birthday!
She is such a doll. I absolutely love the color of her hair, lucky girl. They grow fast don't they?
What a fun party idea. I would love to see your song and dance on video! There's nothing like impromptu singing and dancing. A day at the spa sounds wonderful:0)
I remember her when she was so tiny! Has it really been 5 years since we walked and talked and walked (or waddled) as pregnant mommies, pushing Elise and Rachel in our jogging strollers? Sigh. We can't wait to see you on Thursday!!!!!
I LOVE your ideas for a perfect little girl party. I hope you don't mind if I borrow a few of them in the future. The glam shots were so cute!
Way to think outside of the Disney Princess box!
