On Saturday, May 8, we hosted Morgan's Sesame Street-themed birthday party. Appropriately, the party was sponsored by the letter "M" and the number "2".
The house was decked-out in balloons of Elmo and Abby. And even the food had a distinct Sesame Street flavor: Oscar's Sloppy Pulled Pork, Big Bird's Magnificent Mac n' Cheese, and Alphabet Pasta Salad, just to name a few.
The weather forecast looked grim at first, but we ended up with a nice afternoon to swing on the swings, ride bikes, and play in the sandbox with Cooper.
For a fun craft project, Ariella threw together some dowels, sparkly pom poms and pipe cleaners, and -- ABRA CADABRA! -- everybody got to make an Abby Cadabby magic wand!
The party's most amazing magic trick, however, was fitting 3 cousins into one chair meant for a toddler. (Yikes.)
When it was time to open presents, Morgan got a little freaked out that her card from Karen, Shawn, Katie and Andrew sang "Happy Birthday to Morgan". She quickly got over her fear, though, and now we get to hear the song 10 or 12 times a day.
After presents, it was finally time for birthday cake. Abby Cadabby and Elmo made another cameo appearance as the cake and cupcakes.
"Happy Birthday, dear Morgan... Happy Birthday to you!"
Mmm... Elmo's eyes taste like marshmallows!
