Amelia's Birthday

It was finally Amelia's birthday. After asking every day when it might be, the great day finally arrived. There was a little bit of anxiety, too, since she had announced that she would not suck on her thumb anymore once she was five. While she has dramatically decreased it, she is still doing it. Once again it shows that when she puts her mind to something she can do it.

Her actual birthday was on a Monday, but logistics of a Monday birthday party were too difficult so we moved it up one day to Sunday. We had a princess party - what else can you have at that age? - which required a big castle cake and princess dresses. The girls had fun making crowns and necklaces. We played games and then it was time for presents and cake. Everyone did agreat job helping eat the cake.
