Elmo Party

We had an Elmo themed party. She's nuts for Elmo. That little guy mesmerizes kids somehow. It must be the voice and fuzziness.

Rene and Dinorah hosted the event and really knocked our socks off. They know how to throw a PAAAARTAY!Bev, the cupcake angel, helped me with the cupcakes. They are missing the Oreo cookie mouths in this picture. I am in love with how they turned out! Freakin' adorable. Rene came up with the genius idea of adding coconut to the icing for his fur. That saved us hours of work and I think they look better than they would have if we starred each one. The coconut also helped mask the bitter flavor of the red dye.

The Kiddoes
There was no hope of getting a picture with all of them smiling. After several attempts, this was the winner.

So cute!

I don't know how she fit it all in her little tummy, but that kid ate until the cows came home. Candy does weird things to Little Miss Lilly. But I will not squash the spirit of the post by getting into the details.

Steve and Jessica did a phenomenal job of decorating and game planning. I am forever grateful for their generosity and impressed with their creativity. Steve, in case you didn't know, is an Energizer Bunny and made the party a hit. The kids loved it (Yes he can be rented out for your parties and is willing to dress up in costumes).

Both pinatas were fantastic (yes, there were two!). It always amazes me that in the frenzy, no one ever seems to knocked out.
