I presented Ainsley with several cute choices of party themes, Frozen 2 not being one of them, and she was adamant she wanted a Frozen 2 party. Girl loves her princesses. She also had been asking to have it a gym called The Academy. Which I actually like and enjoy taking the kids there. So the planning began!
She kicked off her weekend by bringing doughnuts to her class at school. She woke up super early Friday morning because her Spanish teacher celebrates birthdays in her class by having the student tell the class their favorite animal and color, and each student draws a picture for the birthday child and it’s made into a book. I actually remember my kindergarten teacher doing this. So Ainsley was so excited. Only to find out her Spanish teacher was sick and had a sub. Ainsley was devastated, there were tears, but her other teacher and friends made up for it!
That night we met Mom, Dad, Matt & family at Pucchinis for her annual birthday dinner.
The next morning she woke up so excited for her birthday and her party. Sweet Parker picked out a present for her and wrapped it all by himself (he gets his wrapping skills from his Pop).
We ate white powdered doughnuts per her request, played with her new gifts, and started getting ready for her party.
Parker was ‘allowed’ to invite his friend Sam who is one of Ainsleys friends brother. They kept to themselves and built forts.
That night we met the Wilhoite clan at Mi Casita to celebrate Auntie Jo. The waiters brought out hats and ice cream for the birthday girls and sang to them in Spanish. Ainsley was mortified. She smiled through her tears and even laughed when they put whipped cream on her nose. But she has declared she is not, under any circumstances, ever going back to that place.
She ended her birthday wrapped up in her new robe from Gramma Joy and saying “Birthdays are the best”. I was so happy that she felt loved and celebrated.
Monday she woke up early again so happy to get her birthday book, to find her teacher still sick. Tuesday brought the infamous birthday book and she ran out of school with the biggest smile on her face!
Our baby girl is 7 and we loved celebrating her. We are so grateful for all of the love, laughs, joy, and fun to our lives!
