Elena turned 4 on March 4th! Quite a day we
had celebrating! I took the day off work so I could spend the day with her. I
continued our tradition of balloons on her birthday morning. While planning her
birthday, Elena said she wanted to have a ballerina theme. For the life of me, I
couldn’t find ballerina decorations! When I broke the news, she was accommodating
& she told me instead she wanted Hello Kitty…& Elsa & Anna…&
Barbie…& Paw Patrol. So that’s what I did for her…

| You can't see the Barbie balloon but it's in there! |
She still wanted to go to preschool that morning as
they were celebrating Purim & she wanted to get to wear a costume to
school! I let her open her birthday present that morning because I had bought
her the Disney Elsa dress & knew she would want to wear it for school.

My Mom, Aunt & I picked Elena up after preschool
& we all went for lunch at Swiss Chalet. She had been there a few weeks
before & they had sung happy birthday to some patrons & so Elena
insisted she wanted that too! After they did, Elena turned to me & said, “Now
it’s my birthday!”
From there we headed to Elena’s favourite place…the
Mall!! Elena had been talking for a while about having her ears pierced &
we’d agreed to get them done for her birthday. She was very brave & took
the 1st pierce with a stiff upper lip…& then refused to have the
other ear done. No amount of encouraging & negotiating on my part would get
her to agree to have the other ear done! Just when I was sure we’d be leaving
with only 1 pierced ear, the salesperson told Elena she’d give her a lollipop
if she agreed & that was enough for Elena! Elena allowed her to pierce the
other ear without complaint!!
 |
| Very serious...& yes she wore her Elsa dress all. day. long. |
After that, we headed over to Build-A-Bear, another
thing Elena had been begging to do for eons!! I couldn’t have been more pleased
by the service we received. They really made the experience special for Elena.
She picked the Elsa Bear, go figure!!

Then we headed home & enjoyed cupcakes. All in all
it was a great day & a fun way to celebrate Elena turning 4.
