Celebrating Elise, part 1

We make a pretty big deal out of turning 5 in our family. It only happens once, you know, and it makes you a school kid. There have been many celebrations for Elise’s 5th, which are now finally complete! Here’s what happened on the ACTUAL day:

We made “Frozen Hot Chocolate” as an after-school treat. It is what it sounds like…a hot chocolate mixture, chilled, then blended with evaporated milk and ice. So. Rich. Amazingly, I don’t actually recommend it. It was a treat, but we could each drink only about 1/4 cup!

Another drink! This time, water. We went to Billy McHale’s for her birthday dinner!

Most of the following pictures tell the story on their own…
