We celebrated Elsie's birthday with a party on February 5th. She invited just a few of her little girlfriends from school. Everyone came and the girls had a great time playing and eating cake. We had the party at our house and I didn't have any activities planned but the girls had a great time just playin in the playroom. We served Mickey-shaped pbjs, pretzels, fruit, and yogurt. The birthday cake was a red heart-shaped cake from Publix. We added Mickey and Minnie figurines to the top. It was a sweet, simple party. Mom, Mike, Bridget, and Chatham made the trip down from Raleigh for the weekend and were a huge help. Chatham washed all of the fruit and made the pbjs. Bridget helped sort red, yellow, and brown M&Ms and red and yellow Starbursts for the centerpiece. She also was a big help in entertaining the girls while the rest of us prepared for the party.
After the party, Chatham, Mom, and I enjoyed some "antiquing" at some local shops. For supper, the whole gang headed over to Kingsland for the Lion's Club Oyster Roast. I think everyone had a great time and we all had our fill of oysters, gumbo, and shrimp! I even won a prize at the quilter's guild's raffle. A sweet little flannel quilt with ballerinas on it. Mary Grace has slept with it every night since.
On Sunday, we took Bridget to Mary Grace's school to show her around.
Here are some photos of the weekend:
