Eliana's Birthday Parties
Eliana turned 4 today. She had two parties... one for her friends and cousins (kids only) in the afternoon, and one for family in the evening. It was a busy day.

For the first party, Eliana invited several of her friends (and similarly-aged cousins) to the Second Story Repertory to see a musical perfomance of Cinderella. The kids all sat down right next to the stage (criss cross applesauce) with Kristy and Eliana's former teacher and friend Jana Bell. Mom, Dad and myself sat in the chairs. The play encouraged the kids participation and the kids were eager to oblige. After the show, Eliana and her entourage congregated in the theater lobby, ate cupcakes, opened presents, and were visited by the crew of the play (who sung Happy Birthday to her). Eliana became pretty shy at this point and refused to give Cinderella a hug, but instead clung tightly to my neck. Here are some pictures:

In the evening for Eliana's second party, we had the family over for dinner (pizza), cake, and ice cream. My aunt/uncle (Anadeane and Layne) were in town, so they came over as well. We had quite a host of people attending, so the extra space up in the attic was put to good use. Here are a few pictures:

My little girl is growing up fast... for kicks, take a look at previous birthday party pictures:
