A Week of Celebration | Hawaii Child Photographer
Posted on July 26, 2010
This past week we did a lot of celebrating!
I feel that turning 5 is one of those big milestones in a kids life,
so we really played up the celebration bit, a lot!
Elizabeth had been asking for the past month or so to go ride the
Dinosaur Safari Train at Pearl Ridge Mall
for her Birthday.
Off we went, with her brand new Camera in hand,
to meet some friends for a ride and some lunch.
Now where did she learn to take pictures of everything in sight?!
Hee hee!
We got each other!
After they rode the train,
We headed to Farrell's for lunch.
Elizabeth only wanted Ice Cream for her lunch
and ordered the Strawberry Surprise.
She was only able to eat maybe half of it. 
Then later in the week we had her Princess Party.
If you ask her right now, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
She will answer unequivocally, "A Princess!"
I knew the perfect cake for a Princess could and would be made by
One of the YUMMIEST (is that a word?) cakes ever!
And beautiful, too, isn't it?
Since there were both boys and girls at the party,
we had both tiaras and crowns.
We made Magic Swords and Scepters using
Pretzel Rods, Nutella, crushed nuts and varied sprinkles.
They made a big splash at the party! More YUM!
What is a party without a Pinata?!
And let me tell you, this one did NOT want to be busted!
But they sure tried their best!
Just look at that determination!
Even the Mom's had a whack at it!
Even if the kids weren't so sure about letting them do it! LOL!
I finally had to had a few whacks at it myself!
Yippee!
Sometimes you just wanna take a good swing at something!
After all that sugar, the kidlets were riding high on the wave of crazy!
I tossed them out front and had them run races up and down the sidewalk!
All in all, I have to say it was a lot of fun!
This was great! Thanks for sharing! I hope next year can be just as good!
