Five came in with a fury of fun! Dayna's friends Izzie and Levi showed up for her party first.
Daddy was happy to oblige with some horsey rides.
And the three entertained themselves with puzzles while they waited. For some reason, Levi just wasn't into the Princess Puzzle. Go figure.
Once everyone arrived, we started with a traditional English Country Dance for May Day called "The Sweets of May." The kids seemed to catch on just a *bit* faster than the grownups!
All the kids got to decorate and plant their own flower pots to take home. Unfortunately, Dayna's met with a strong wind the next day and didn't survive.
Dayna's guests included the uber-cute Eli...
...sweet and shy Gracie...
...beautiful Isabel...
...and Levi, the energy and life of the party; can't you see that twinkle of mischief? I LOVE this kid!
Dayna found an envelope in the back yard. Mickey Mouse sent her a letter inviting her to Disney World in June.
Do you think she was excited?
My China adoption friends will appreciate memories of the red couches at the White Swan hotel and trying to get a picture of all the children. Dayna really does have non-Chinese friends. These happen to be the friends who could make it to her party.
Dayna has been talking about this cake since I made it for her Daddy last September. Yum!
Happy Birthday, Dayna! You are five and fabulous!
