This year, for the first time, Simone had very specific ideas for her birthday and party. She asked to go to Pennsylvania and have a My Little Pony Grand Galloping Gala party at Grammy's house. My Little Pony is Simone's all time favorite toy/show for the moment, so it really was no wonder we ended up with something like this. She asked for streamers and balloons and fancy dresses and tiaras. Basically, it was about the girly-est scene possible.

And, of course, a my little pony cake. Chocolate mousse and whipped cream icing... yum!
|
 |
| On the porch to greet her guests. |
 |
| Talking to daddy after she blew out the candles. |
 |
| Opening gifts, plenty of pony presents. |
 |
| With lots of help from her cousins. |
 |
| Rainbow twirling ribbons were Simone's party favors. They made for great fun out in the yard after the cake and singing. |
The afternoon kid party was followed by an evening bbq with lots of family and then a sleepover party for the girls. And lest you think things got too prissy, all the girls shed their party attire and went hunting for frogs in the forest with flashlights, which Simone notes was her favorite part (along with opening gifts). They also put on a dance show for all the grown ups, which was choreographed and memorized all in one afternoon.... kind of impressive.
Simone sobbed herself to sleep when it was time to leave the next day, and she simply cannot stop talking about how much fun she had. Her birthday was officially a major success. It may be hard to beat this one next year!
