Party Recap
I invited my friends and their families so we had kids from 1-10. We had Elmo come, along with a Magician so we could entertain all ages with magic, games, face painting, bubbles and balloons. We had a "Sweet Street" table with a rainbow Elmo cake, cake pops, Elmo cookies, E and 2 cookies, and lots of rainbow candy. I served mostly kid friendly food- chicken nuggets, mini corn dogs, meatballs, Elmo fruit platter, veggies, goldfish and cheese/meat platter. We had so much fun!

It was all fun- kids loved it downstairs, but they really did get excited when Elmo came in and surprised him.

Funniest Moment
Everyone loved when the magician pulled a rabbit out. Easton went and yanked it out and was swinging it around. Of course, we missed filming it.

Most Touching Moment
E's face when Elmo came down stairs and he ran over to him!
