Happy Birthday Sweet Deli!

This year Adele's Birthday fell on 12-12-12.  We had a birthday at 12 with the theme of the 12 dancing princesses.  She had a blast, and it was fun to do!

 The pictures are of the set up and the birthday girl getting ready.

 Tiaras and wands ready to be decorated. Castle waiting to be colored and played in.

 When the guests started arriving our intro activity was coloring the castle.

 The sweet princesses that came to celebrate!

 Marie made Adele this awesome apron for her birthday.  Adele has been so excited to help in the kitchen ever since she got it.  She asks to help make eggs just about everyday!

 The party was a success, the girls had fun, and I was exhausted, check, check and check!

This last picture is of Ella with our neighbor Brenda.  Brenda has lived across the street from us for the past five months.  She was up here from Mexico trying to go through the process of gaining citizenship, so that when her husband graduates from college they can come here to live.  We LOVED having Brenda as our neighbor.  She was the girls (and our) favorite babysitter and she was so great to us.  We formed a great friendship in 5 short months from the unique opportunities we had to serve and to be served.  Fortunately for her she was able to return to Mexico a couple of days before Christmas to be with her husband and daughter.  We had her over for dinner the night before she left.  We will miss her, but hope to see her again!
