Flamingo Four

The weekend after my mom left from her long stay, we had Elliott's birthday party! I can't believe we have a four year old!! 

Elliott is one of the most outgoing children I know. She is busy, energetic, full of spunk and personality and not afraid to show you any of it! She can be mischievous and sneaky but loving and kind when it counts. 

We started planning her party a couple months ago. She knew she wanted a pool party and since flamingos are so in, we made it a flamingo themed pool party! It was such a blast and I'm so happy with how it all turned out! 

This was the first party Elliott has had where she's had multiple friends to invite. She always had Jack in Utah, which was, well, the best...but now she has a ward full of friends and so she was over the moon about inviting them all to come! Unfortunately, quite a few couldn't come, but we still had a great turn out and we had the best day! I don't think she'll ever forget this party!

Our traditional birthday photo! Amazing how much she's grown in four years!

The cake! Four layers of white cake with vanilla frosting. Magnolia leaves (some spray painted gold) and cake toppers I made with my cricut!

Present and party favor table! The party favors were inflatable flamingos with a small bag of candy and lip gloss for the girls and yo yos for the boys.

FOUR!

I am so sad! I didn't take any close up shots of the the table! We had chicken salad, pb&js, fruit salad, pineapple donuts (cinnamon sugar donuts with pineapple toppers), the cake and pink lemonade. The table was decorated with a magnolia leaf table runner and pineapples!

Cousins!

The party started with swimming! They swam for a good hour! The pool was cold because of a recent storm, but they still swam quite a bit! 

We bought a few big floaties for the party! They were so much fun! 

The first game was flamingo ring toss! Anne Tatum won with just one ring!! It was hard!

The next game was pineapple bowling! The ball was a coconut! It was pretty hard but they loved it! Jane and Kate won!

Present time!! Can you tell how much she loved this gift?! Morgan and Jenn's family knocked it out of the park with this one!

Pinata time!

I love these pictures! So much joy in pinatas!
