My Two GuatTots: Elia's Party

It is hard to believe my baby is about to be DOUBLE DIGITS!! Her 10th birthday is actually October 17 but we decided to have her party over fall break. We did a GLOW party at Pump It Up which was a lot of fun. Here are Elia and her friends watching the video about the rules of the place:

Here is the gang ready and waiting to attack the slides:

And some action shots of all the girls playing:

This is a picture of Elia and her good friend Jacey. They are on the same competitive soccer team, and they are lucky enough to be in the same class. I am so thankful that Elia has made sweet friends like Jacey!

Here is Elia with some school friends and soccer friends:

LOVE this picture of Grammy, Papa, Jason, and Holli! (I am sure they will love that I posted this on my blog!) Gotta love Papa with the glow necklace around his head. (and he wonders why Elia gets embarrassed around him these days.)

And here is the gang again all worn out after playing:

Elia had to have a soccer cookie cake! It was really good! It was a double layer cake with icing in between, and we got it at Sams for only $15! Highly recommend it!

Elia does not like to have the attention on her. She was so shy when we made her stand up and we all sang to her.

Elia got a lot of nice things from her friends!

The BIG surprise of the night came at the end of the party after she finished opening her presents. Ava has a birthday in November so we surprised both girls with tickets to the Justin Bieber concert! The girls saw a cardboard cut out of Bieber that they had been wanting. At first, when we brought him out, Ava was excited just over the cardboard cut out. Then they read the sign we put on it that said they are coming to his concert! It was SO fun to see their reactions! Ava was going nuts and starting carrying Justin around while she kissed it! Elia was excited too but needed to keep her composure in front of all her friends so she still looked "cool" about going to Justin Bieber.
