Ellie & Annie's Birthday Party

Jasmine is lucky to have so many friends that she loves and who love her because then they all want her to come to their birthday parties. Jasmine has known Ellie & Annie Astle since they were both born and so she was very excited to attend their joint birthday party where Ellie turned 3 and Annie turned 1. They had a butterfly themed birthday party where everything they did and ate reflected the butterfly theme. It was a cute party.
They started with stamping and Jasmine enjoyed stamping a piece of paper with a cupcake stamp and a butterfly and Happy Birthday stamp. Then, Shelly read a story about The Hungry Caterpillar and sent the kids on a candy hunt (the candy hunt I could have done without - we needed more candy in our house like we need a hole in the head!). They decorated sugar cookies in the shapes of butterflies and also ate foods that had butterfly shapes to them.When it was time for cake and cupcakes, Jasmine had fun singing the song but didn't really want to eat any of the cake or cupcakes. She loved watching Ellie and Annie open their gifts and all in all, had a swell time!

Those cakes are cute!

I agree with the extra candy thing. People try to tell me that a treat every once in a while is okay, but when too many people try to give him a treat, it isn't a treat anymore.
