Gabriella's School Birthday Party

Today was Gabriella's Elmo themed school birthday party with Gabriella's class. A fun time was had by all.

I had ordered a bakery cake in addition to the one I made because I wasn't sure how mine would come out. It turns out that mine was much cuter than the bakery's! I loved that every kid and teacher in the entire school was able to have a slice of birthday cake because we had so much!

Taking a taste!:

While we were singing happy birthday to Gabriella, she acted a bit surprised, like she didn't realize why we were singing to her! It was very cute!:

Digging into the cake!:

Yum!:

Everybody enjoying cake and ice cream:

Ava specially wrapped and decorated a birthday present for Gabriella. It was a Hannah Montana flashlight for our camping trip next week (we are going with Ava's family):

Our two special birthday party helpers, Aunt Kathy and Ken:

After the party Aunt Kathy, Tita Candace, and I took Gabriella and Ava to McDonald's Play Place to release some of the sugar energy!
