When it came time to plan Avery’s official birthday party, we decided to go low-key this year. I have a feeling we’ll have a bigger party next year for her milestone fifth birthday.
Several weeks ago, I asked Avery what she wanted to do for her birthday. She immediately responded, “I want a princess party with a football cake.” I said nix to both of those ideas! Then I suggested having a small get-together in the party room at our favorite local fro yo shop, Ella’s Frozen Yogurt. She quickly agreed.
We decided to invite the grandparents, Aunt Karen and the Berkemeiers. What fun we had last night!
One of the bonuses of having the party at Ella’s was that I didn’t have to make a cake this year. That meant that we had to put Avery’s candle in her pizza. She thought that was pretty neat.
Avery had some great helpers when she opened her gifts. She didn’t mind the extra help at all!
This gift included some bubble packing. The kids seemed to like that better than the gift itself!
After the presents, it was time for the good stuff! Avery chose lemon and strawberry yogurt with gummy worms, gummy bears, Reese’s pieces, strawberries and chocolate syrup for the toppings.
If you’re in the area, I highly recommend Ella’s for your next gathering. It was so nice not to stress out about the party, especially all the preparation that usually comes with hosting a party at home. And the excited birthday girl along with her two happy friends prove that it was a successful party!
