Happy 5th Birthday, Em!!
OK - second try. Let's see if I can download a couple pictures of the party. I chose to include only Em's friend's whose parents won't sue me for publicly posting pictures of their children!
Em and her favorite color balloon - purple! Notice it's pastel (for those of you who read the birthday post!!
Here's Em blowing out her candle AS we all sing Happy Birthday. She's not one to conform. She will blow them out when she is ready, not waiting for you!!
Enjoying some Dora cake. She REALLY enjoyed her presents. We went a bit over at the end and some moms were arriving before she was done. When she finished unwrapping all her gifts she said (much to my horror!), "OK, everybody, you can go home now!!" We need to work on those manners!
Party Plans: Craft (magic wand - didn't fit in with the theme, but Em wanted to make them!) and coloring page, Backpack game - items in backpack that kids had to guess by feeling them, Map - go through water, gather balloons, get Em to her birthday surprise! The water - blue balloons in a pool in our living room - paper balloons on bottom of the pool with each child's name on it. They had to find their balloon to cross the "lake". Pin the balloons on Dora - in the foyer. Once they all pinned their balloons on, they each grabbed a balloon from the living room, handed it to Emily so she could "float" to the top of the "tree," which I made in our foyer. Not sure we actually got a picture of this. T, (though he missed his cue and needed to be told), carried her up the stairs while she held the balloons and found her surprise - a pinata. The kids busted that open in the basement. All in all, a very successful party. We then had food, cake and lastly, presents. It was great fun. Next party - anywhere but home!!

Cute birthday pics! I live in Columbia, and I'm having a Dora birthday party for my daughter's third birthday. Where did you get your daughter's cake? Thanks!
Hey Sharon - How funny! Such a small world! The cake was from Weis - they are fairly good and a little cheaper than a bakery. If you are looking for something outstanding, I LOVE Cakes Plus in Laurel. Very pricey, but out of this world. For kids, we go to weis!:)
