Eliana's Birthday-Part 3

My afternoon was spent getting the cake and snacks ready for Ellie's birthday party in the evening.

Ellie had repeatedly requested a purple cake. She helped me choose what kind of purple as I was making the icing... we added a little more red, a little more blue, a little more red, a little more blue... until Ellie decided this was just right.

Aside from the heart cake, we decorated some cupcakes.

We had a simple get together with some neighbors, our language tutor, and some friends.  

And the four year old gets to blow out her candles... 

Happy Birthday, dear Eliana. We are so glad you are in our lives!
