For her eleventh birthday, Rose Pink decided on a 'white elephant' birthday party. She'd participated in a white elephant gift exchange for the first time last month, and enjoyed it so much that she wanted to repeat the experience. So she asked her guests to bring a $5 gift for the gift exchange, and they played some other games, and broke a pinata shaped like a white elephant. She and Mr. Brown worked on the pinata together, and we filled it with the last of the Halloween candy.
Nut Brown was enlisted to give elephant rides. He and Grandma made up his costume- Rose Pink lent him the white clothes.
When I asked Bobo if he had a gift for the gift exchange, he ran right upstairs and got a baby toy that had an elephant as part of it. Perfect choice. Here he is 'helping' Grandma wrap it - actually he's busy using the scissors to cut something, while Grandma wraps it.
And here's the birthday girl with her cake:
Because I'd just had a baby five days before, our good friends offered to host the party at their house instead. So the baby and I stayed home, and Rose Pink hosted. From all accounts, it was a good time for everyone. Mr. Brown said that she was an excellent hostess, and she came home satisfied. Happy birthday, Rose Pink! So glad that you're in our family.
