Elmo Party!

The theme of birthday #2 was Elmo. My daughter has a severe obsession with Elmo. We slummed it this year for her birthday - had the party at our small house, had just family over, and had Little Caesars to dine on. It was a fun day - I know Meredith enjoyed it.

Her favorite balloon (poor Elmo is barely floating as of today :-( Meredith is pretty distraught by that.
Here she is rocking the gangsta' Elmo look.



Grandma and Grandpa Schwake got her a shiny new red wagon for her birthday which she loves to ride in. She won't sit in the stroller but she seems to have no problem riding in the wagon - at least the times we have used it so far.


Meredith helped Daddy and Grandpa put it together.




And here is the finished product!

On to the fun stuff! An Elmo birthday isn't complete without an Elmo cake!











On to presents - she loved trying on her new clothes.

And she can't wait to play with Play-Doh this winter!

And the art desk from mom and dad...well...the verdict is still out on that one.
