Pinkaliciously Five

Ash couldn't wait to be five.  She woke up the morning of her birthday at 3:30 and wanted to know if she went downstairs would she be 5?

Yep, you're finally 5!

That morning we baked her pink cupcakes.

We picked Grandmama up from the airport.

Grandmama took Ash to build-a-bear and out for lunch

Then we spent the afternoon getting ready for her pinkalicious party.

I had fun gathering everything pink.

Kelly loaned me the cute banner over the fireplace, I've enjoyed it being there all week.

I made a dot garland out of pink paper and clipped pictures of Ash to it.  I like looking at all those sweet pictures of her so much, that I can't bring myself to take it down.

I hung mason jars with pink sand in them and made pink tissue balls. 

(I still haven't take them down either.)

A pinkalicious party wouldn't be complete with out strawberry marshmallows, pink jelly beans and strawberry pink lemonade.

She was so excited for the party to get started.

The boys and even Heath & Melissa showed up in pink, isn't that so sweet!

I read the book, Pinkalicious.

We sang happy birthday and ate cupcakes and ice cream

Look at who got stuck serving the (extremely frozen) ice cream.

Thanks Heath!

The kids also ate a lot of pink candy.

Then it was time for presents.

At the end of the party, we sent home big, green jaw breakers with our friends to help counteract all the pink they consumed while at our pinkalicious party.

Thanks everyone for coming and/or calling and making Ashy's 5th birthday full of love!
