We hosted Emmaline's second birthday party last Saturday. She LOVES Sesame Street, especially Cookie Monster and Ernie. So, I based the party around that.
We had dancing with Big Bird, where we set up our kids' karaoke camera (the sound doesn't work, but the kids love seeing themselves on the TV).
Then we had a duck grab with Ernie.
This was cool. I found a baby inflatable pool and put about 30 duck inside. We gave the kids spatulas and they had to get as many ducks out of the "pond" as the could in 5 seconds. Weldon totally won this game with 5 ducks!
We then went to Cookie Monster's cookie walk. We taped colored paper to the floor and had the kids walk around to the song "C is for Cookie". We stopped the music and gave out a bag of cookies. We did this until everyone had gotten a bag. The cookies were SO good. I made chocolate chip and snickerdoodles. YUMMY!
After the cookie walk, we went over to visit with Oscar the Grouch. He had his garbage can, but need more garbage put in. So we had a tissue paper garbage toss. We played the song "Oh, I Love Trash." It was so cute!
Finally, we had story time with Elmo. We read some of Emmaline's favorite books: The Monster at the End of This Book and It's Not Easy Being Big.
.
It worked out well. It slowed the kids down a little after the excitement of the games. We had dinner after the stories. Of course it was Emma's favorites: hot dogs, plain potato chips, gold fish, orange slices (which must be circles, it's the only way she'll eat them) and watermelon. We also had capri sun juice drinks. She had a ton of fun opening all of her presents which included 3 new dolls and a very exciting soccer ball! I have to admit, the cake was one of my favorite parts. I found a bakery that makes a cookie monster cake! So cute!
I think everyone had a great time. After everyone left, Allen and I gave Emma her gift from us: a chair of her own. She LOVES this cute fluffy chair. It's just the right size. Thanks to everyone who came and shared this fun day with us.
Happy birthday Emmaline!
