HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELENA! / FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS ELENITA!!

Our dear little girl turned three today. She was so happy when she woke up this morning. I asked her "So, how old are you today?" she said "mm 2 :-) NO I'm just teasing you I'm FREE!"
She wanted a "Super Readers" Birthday party. It is kids show on PBS where they learn letters and how to read. She wanted to be
Nuestra Elenita cumplio 3 añitos hoy. Estaba tan emocionada cuando se desperto esta mañana que cuando le pregunte "¿Elenita cuantos años tienes hoy?" ella me dijo "um DOS :-) Nooo echandote broma hoy tengo TRES!"
Ella queria una fiesta de una comiquita que ve aqui de cuentos donde le enseñan las letras y como leer. Ella queria ser...
"Princess Presto" with her magic Spelling wand! / Princesa Presto con su barita magica de deletrear!Giving sister tons of hugs and kisses before the party. / Con la hermanita dandole besitos y abrazos antes de la fiesta.Dave wrote a little story about a little girl that was having a birthday and was figuring out what really makes the day so "Special" As we read each page the kids had to go and look for "Super letters" At the end of the Story they put all the letters together and found "The super Story answer" which was "FRIENDS"
David le escribio un cuento que se trataba de una niña que estaba cumpliendo años y que estaba averiguando que hacia el dia tan especial. Los niños tenian que encontrar letras que escondimos y cuando las encontraron todas deletrearon la palabra "AMIGOS"

I made little cake pops instead of a cake and it was a HIT! They are so tasty :-)

Hice estas torticas en vez de una torta y bueno fue estupendo. Son tan sabrocitos :-)Yum!
Sabroso!

Opening presents. This is the Nutcraker Cd, she LOVES it! Thanks R&C. and to everyone else that was so kind to get her the most fun presents she has seen since "lasterday" (that is what she told me) Everytime she opened one she said "Oh my goodness it's BOOK!"
Abriendo regalos. Estaba super emocionada me dijo que estos eran los mejores regalos que habia visto desde "el ultimo dia"

Matt and Keegan came over and brought Elena two fun games. Matt was a AMath student also (already graduated) and he often hosts often game nigths at his place. They play games like Settlers of Catan and other of that type. He found out Elena was getting into games and decided to start her collection with some fun games, now she is even invited to go and play at his house on game night :-)
Matt y Keegan vinieron a visitar a Elenita tambien. Matt fue a la escuela con David y aunque ya se graduo todavia lo vamos a visitar frecuentemente cuando hacen juegos en su casa. El quizo empezar la coleccion para Elenita y le trajo un juego llamado "Slamwich"

They are playing "Slamwich"
Some of teh kids decided to go and just have fun dressing up.and others just went crazy!
The day is now over. Thanks to all that helped make it so much fun. We miss all the family that could not be here.
This is our present to her. You should have seen her little face when she opened it. She has been wanting one for so long.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANI, WE LOVE YOU!

El dia se acabo. Gracias a todos los que nos ayudaron a hacer este dia tan especial. Extrañamos a todos los que no pudieron venir.
Este fue nuestro regalo. Le hubiesen visto la carita cuando lo abrio. Ha querido una sombrilla por mucho tiempo.
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS NANI, TE QUEREMOS MUCHO!
