Since Aunt Sil is leaving tomorrow (one day shy of Stella's 5th birthday), we decided to have a mini birthday celebration for Stella today so that Aunt Sil would be able to partake in the festivities. I made a very simple pink cake (that's all this pregnant Mama can handle these days), but Stella loved it and that's all that matters.
After singing, blowing out candles, and eating some cake, Stella opened only the gifts that Aunt Sil had gotten her. Stella was in a generous mood and so she graciously let Des open one of her gifts since he didn't have any gifts to open himself. It was a very sweet and touching gesture that was initiated all by herself!
Stella's favorite gift from Aunt Sil was the "Chat Beads"...beads of all colors and sizes along with string that allow you to make necklaces or bracelets. Since it was close to bedtime, Stella, with a little help from Des, was allowed to make one bracelet before having to get ready for bed. Here they are in action.
