Eliza Is Five!

Eliza turned 5 on Sunday. We had three days of partying to celebrate. Saturday with my family, Sunday with the Liston's and Monday with her friends! She had a great birthday. I should have put these pictures in order better, but oh well. Aunt Becky made the best castle cake for her. I don't know how she did it, but I know it took a lot of time and love. Thanks Becky!

This is the back side of the cake with little windows and everything.

Here are Eliza and Paige just before we cut into it-which was really hard for me to do. I wanted to keep it longer! Look how cute with the five flags and her name. She LOVED it.

Here is her birthday party. All of the kids her age in the neighborhood are boys. So they got to come to a princess party. Oh well, with games like red light, green light, duck, duck, goose and simon says it was fun for all. I like how Jack is all casual in the picture.

Here is Aunt Becky and Eliza with the cake!

Another shot. As you can tell I really liked it. :)

Here is Eliza after we set the table for the big party. She had so much fun with here friends. Thanks everybody for coming and spoiling her rotten. She said at dinner last night, "I really liked being spoiled!" Uh-oh.

Here is the cake that Russell and I made her on Sunday. Not quite the same level as the castle. But it was delicious. She got the little fur real puppy next to her and has been loving it.

And here she is on Sunday with her presents from Russell, Aiden, Jack and me. New shoes, outfit, coloring pages, markers. puppy and a boy barbie, "so my barbies can go on dates."

Eliza is such a sweet girl and I am so happy to have her as my sweet daughter forever. She was really excited when she opened her cloths and Aiden said, "Mom, why did you buy her cloths. That is not a present." But she loved them and I am happy I have a little shopping buddy!
