Who are we to mess with tradition? Today we had a little BBQ for the munchkin and invited a few very close friends and we celebrated her day. During her nap Jacob, Lily and I transformed the house into an Elmo land. She had Elmo everywhere including balloons. Her little face lit up when she saw the balloons and then Lily showed everything else and she really went berserk, it was so much fun. Once the guests started to arrive she became alittle bit shy cos she still doesn't do crowds very well but she warmed up and sat and ate her lunch with everyone and enjoyed the fact that Caro and Lucy were fighting over who would feed the next mouthful to her.
I do believe that the Elmo birthday cake was the icing on her day! (God I am corny)At first she just sort of looked at it but once she tasted the icing there was no going back, she was hooked! She enjoyed being sung to and blew out her candles.
She was very confused and every time anybody said, "Happy Birthday Rosie," she would say, "no, Daddy's birthday." Total confusion aside she had a ball. She has shown a big interest in tricycles of late so that is what she got. Her very own pink and purple Radio Fl*yer trike. She was thrilled. Over and over again she kept saying, "rider" which is her word for anything you can ride. Even though we had friends over we had to keep going outside to give her a ride.
I don't have one good photo of her on it but I have a feeling it is going to be a staple part of our day so there will be lots of pic's coming soon. I do however have lots of photos of her and of course video but by now you all know the deal with the new camera and videos....arghhhhhhh.
The birthday girl spots the balloons. BTW, her pretty dress was a gift from Lori, Marc and the Dynamic Duo, when she came home. The hat lasted about a minute :(

Lucy and Caro. Caro took my camera and just kept taking photos. It was really lovely to download them this evening and see loads that I didn't recognise.

Once she received her trike that is where she held court and wouldn't even get off of it to open her other gifts
