Evie's Birthday

Today was Evie's Birthday, and she got to celebrate it with her friends at the creche (and Mama & Papa at home, of course). This past week we have been busy making the "traktaties" - little presents to give her friends to celebrate her birthday. This year we made little triangle boxes filled with sweets.
Each little box had a mini lollipop and ten princess colored M&Ms.

When put together it resembles a cake. One side of the box has a photo of Evie while the other has pictures of her favorite girly-girl characters - Hello Kitty, the Disney princesses, and Dora.

The finished product also had some bling - three stick-on jewels were the icing on the cake. We presented them on this tray.

The presents are for all of her classmates, but for the ones who are actually at the creche today we have some sugar cookies with Hello Kitty. The bigger ones are for the teachers,

Per creche tradition, Evie got to stand on the table while everybody sang the birthday songs to her.

The kids eating their cookies and examining the boxes. Some of them even managed to sneak out a few M&Ms! (Evidenced by some ripped boxes in the cubbies.)

Evie got to pick out a present from her teachers. She chose the sidewalk chalk.

Here we see Evie distributing the presents in the kids' cubbies.

We picked her up early where we found her still in her princess dress, crown, necklace, and earrings! She had a totally princess day!
