We kept things simple for Nora's party, given how close it was after our trip and return to school and work. We ate hot dogs and chips outside and enjoyed a lovely late summer evening with grandmas and grandpas and Aunt Heather.
And this adorable birthday girl couldn't have been happier.
She picked out some balloons that were our centerpieces.
And she helped me make chocolate cupcakes with pearlescent princessy sprinkles.
And the gifts... oh she was so happy to get her Elsa and Anna dolls. Thanks Grandma Carlile and Aunt Dynna for making that happen!
And the doll stroller from Grandma Loertscher was a wonderful surprise. She has been driving her baby doll, Anna, and Elsa around in the stroller ever since.
It turned out to be a very Frozen party, with the princess dolls, a Frozen coloring book, Elsa apron, Frozen pajamas, and Frozen legos. Those who didn't do Frozen did Iron Man, which she was just as excited about.
Things I love about Nora: her need to learn new things and new skills, her willingness to be my helper around the house, her interest in both dolls and cars, her love of singing and dancing, and how she is super excited about just about everything that interests her. Specifically at her 5th birthday: she can't wait for kindergarten, she loves dolls of all kinds, she is starting to draw more on her own, she reads simple sentences on her own, and she wants to build buildings when she grows up. I'm so glad she's mine!
