Ellie's 5th birthday was last Saturday. We had her first real birthday party with friends. We had four little girls over and we did the requisite party activities: crafts and games and a pinata. Of course the grand finale was pink cupcakes with pink frosting and pink sprinkles. Ellie helped decorate them and had a great time making a mess with the frosting and sprinkles right before the guests arrived -- but hey, I am not going to stifle any creativity! She was so excited about every gift she opened, exclaiming, "Its just what I always wanted!" Unlike most other kid birthday parties we've hosted, there were no meltdowns or tears or hiding in a corner -- I think with the 3rd kid we finally have realized that simplest is the best.
