Asher's birthday was on Tuesday and after dinner we celebrated with cupcakes and family gifts. Ari and Keira went above and beyond all on their own. They each made him a special card and rainbow loom bracelets and a necklace. Ari even gave Asher $3 of his very own money! We have some special kids!
Asher requested an Elmo party and I was inspired by my current laundry room update (pic's coming soon!) to use turquoise as an accent with all the red. As luck would have it, a dear friend had used the same color scheme for a Valentine's party and shared many of her wonderful decorations. I played off the "Elmo loves his goldfish, his crayons too" catch phrase as well. We had a goldfish (crackers) bar with 4 different flavors served in fish bowls as well as a coloring station with plenty of crayons. We ate Elmo's favorite food, pizza,
served with veggie and fruit trays made to look like Elmo. I also found some scratch art fish shapes for the kids to decorate and made a magnetic fishing game. And, as requested by Keira, we had Pin the Nose on Elmo. Most of our friends were able to attend and it seems like everyone had a great time. The important part was Asher did!
On Sunday, I asked Asher if he enjoyed his party and he said, "Yes. It was very sweet." Just like our Asher!
