Elayna started her birthday at the LaSal Lodge, at our Evans Reunion. We didn't do presents, just the cake. We don't give cousins presents, normally, because it gets really expensive really fast. The kids get to celebrate their birthdays with their cousins by having a fun cake party and spending time playing together.
Irma and Jerry gave Elayna lots of cute stuff. A doll with velcro clothes:
A cute outfit, picture frame, pen, notebook, white hat, gloves,
a Pink Princess dress, (cap sleeves were added later) with a matching doll dress, and a Glitter book and coin. Elayna loves it all. She really likes clothes and girly things.
Huge cupcakes and a beautiful girl at Bowman's.
Ryan, Katie, Annalisa, and I gave her this Princess doll set. The clothes are soft plastic and stretch onto the dolls. Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, and Sleeping Beauty. Each doll comes with 2 pairs of shoes that are about the size of a Tic Tac. Crazy.
We also gave her some Barbie dressy dresses.
My parents took her to lunch and gave her this darling pink with black and white polka dots dress. Elayna loves to wear it to church and on regular days too.
GG and Grandpa Joe gave Elayna a Littlest Pet Shop set, with a glowing ladybug and other animals and stuff. Lots of small pieces.
Elayna, we love you so much! We are so grateful you are in our family. We love your happy smile, your adorable laugh, and your enthusiasm for everything! You are a sweet and caring girl, and Katie is your best friend. You have pretty much mastered pedaling the tricycle, you know all your uppercase letters, and all your colors. You walk around the house singing and talking to yourself. You like to play by yourself, and I'm sure your play world would be a wonderful place to visit. You come up with pretend names that I can't repeat or remember, like Shalinafusha. They sound like you just threw some random sounds together. You love to give hugs and everyone that sees your happy smile has to smile back, because it is so contagious.
Love you sweetie! (you usually respond with "I'm not sweetie, I'm Elayna!")
