happy birthday Ella

Ella had her third birthday party today. It was a candyland party and I am pretty sure the kids have a great time in candyland....oh yes. They kids walked in and went straight to the table of candy and ate for 10 minutes straight.

We had to pull the kids away to make candy necklaces. The kids strung Fruit Loops on licorice ropes.
Then the kids went on a candy walk (just like a cake walk) but instead of numbers we had Candyland characters (such as Mr. Mint, Princess Frostine or King Kandy). The kids loved this (such a great game for little kids) and they loved winning prizes (like more candy, candyland puzzles and one lucky winner won the Candyland game).

Then the kids went on a scavenger hunt as the Candyland characters gave them clues about themselves and took them around the house to find their goodies. Then of course, we sang "happy birthday" to the birthday girl and she blew out her candles. Ella loved that part as she had this huge smile on her face and couldn't wait to blow out her candles.

It was great birthday party. Ella (and all the kids) loved having free access to so much candy. It was great to spend time with friends and let the kids just have a ball eating, playing and having fun. Kids birthdays are the best!

PS -Scavenger hunt and details of the party to come soon.
