We had Riley's birthday party about a week early so that we could make sure all of her best buddies could be there to help her party. Riley loves just about everything about Sesame Street, especially Elmo, so we could find no better theme for her celebration. Because our little birthday girl also loves tutus we made sure she had the perfect one for her party and then made special tutus for all of her Elmo dolls and other Sesame characters that matched Miss Riley's.
She was so excited for her party and even got warmed up by singing "Happy Birthday" to herself a few times before the festivities got started. Once the party got started, Riley had such a great time playing with all of her friends and were so excited to have all of them and their families there with us to celebrate.
Our day of partying and playing was capped off with some really great gifts. Riley got to open the presents that each of her friends brought for her and we are so lucky to have such generous friends who spoiled Riley such wonderful presents. She absolutely loved all of the surprises.
When our friends left, we had each of them take home their very own goldfish just like Elmo's friend Dorothy. (Good luck parents, I hope you didn't curse us the whole way home for sending you off with a new pet.)

You know how to throw a themed party, Holland! Looks like it was a blast. I have to admit I laughed out loud when KT told me you gave out live pets requiring care for a favor...just wait until everyone gets you back by giving Riley a dog or kitten for Christmas!
Happy Birthday, Riley! I love the picture of her with your mom. It looks like everyone had a great time, and the cupcakes looked yummy.
Riley's Elmo Birthday Party was eye catching. The water melons in the summer are my favorite. My son’s birthday lies in the summer season so I definitely add the melons to the party in some form. At the indoor Los Angeles event venues we are planning to host a DIY Disney party for his 6th birthday. Can’t wait for that!
