We celebrated Elsie's 6th Birthday on a Sunday this year. Wayne has been working weekends for a while and was able to get this Sunday off to preach at Cowboy Church and I thought lets kill two birds with one stone. It was a small family gathering and she felt very special.

| She wanted a cheerleading them and was able to wear her costume from last year. |

| Since we have cut out all refined sugar from our diet, there was no candy filled pinata and the cupcakes were muffins instead. We had chocolate zucchini, peanut butter chocolate chip and pumpkin flavors and they were all made with whole wheat flour and honey. Best part, the kids loved them! |
Thanks to my sister-n-law's sharp eye, we were able to
get all the paper goods for only .75 cents each. This of course set the
theme for the colors of pink & purple. The party favors were pom
pom's and a megaphone for the girls and a football and football towel
for the boys, all found at the Dollar Tree.

| Lunch was made super easy by ordering turkey subs on wheat from Subway, veggie chips, cut up veggies and hummus. Another healthy meal and the only one who complained was my brother, because he was looking forward to my onion dip. |
So yes, it is possible to have healthy, but good food for a kids birthday party and not have to suffer kids bouncing off the walls and then the sugar low's later on!

| The birthday girls favorite part....Presents! |

| My mother celebrated sixty years the day before, so she got to open her present (with all her grand kids help) just after Elsie opened hers. She is always borrowing my drink dispenser for parties, so I thought it was about time she had her own. |
