When Elizabeth turned two, we started the tradition of having 2 parties for each of her birthdays. The first party is a friend party where friends bring donations to a charity. The second party is a family party. Our entire family gets together, grandparents, great-grandparents and immediate family, and we do the traditional birthday thing with opening presents. Below are some pictures from both parties. We had a fun weekend, filled with celebration of Elizabeth's 4 years in our family.

Elizabeth is a little OCD, it comes out and the funniest times
Elizabeth got to demonstrate each of the activities at the gym.
I think this was her favorite part of the party.
All in all there were 21 children. I was a little concerned that it would be too much, but these kids all have such awesome parents and they all were so well behaved. It was a blast!
"Happy Birthday to You"
Please pardon the horrible singing, clearly
our family isn't musically talented.

On Sunday, Elizabeth's actual birthday, we had our family party at my Mom's house. My mom made the MOST AWESOME cake. I was so impressed, and Elizabeth LOVED it!
