I believe this will be the final installment of Josie Dong Dong's Birthday Week and she really went out with a big BANG!
Fresh from her nap, hair primped and primed, getting Ready for the Guests to arrive.
The arrival of the royal guests kicked of with cousins Prima Dancer Abbie her brother Ethan who tries to keep up.
Josie was a very gracious hostess and showed her cousins how to play with her new cash register.
Josie's next guests are the lovely Angeline who enjoyed playing with all the kids, followed by Baby Grace, who didn't quite know what to think about everything but enjoyed herself all the same.
With all of her guests accounted for, it was time for a round of good play. I think all the mommies and daddies were truly surprised at how well the play time went, with no fighting.
Josie continued to be a gracious Birthday Girl and Hostess freely sharing all her toys with her guests.
Next it was time for the Birthday Girl to open her presents. Josie was feeling pretty overwhelmed with all her guests and so many presents to open. She was very happy that her Big Cousin Abbie was nearby to lend her a hand.
"Thanks for Helping me Abbie."
"Oh Boy! Look at all this stuff I got!"
After all the presents were open, Mommy began serving the pigs in a blanket and there was lots of more play time with even more toys than before.
Ethan and even Josie's big Sis got in on some of the play action with the Elmo giggles doctor kit.
Nate was still happy playing with Josie's Little People Farm close to his Grandma Ava.
Before we knew it, everyone-- young and old, big and small, was on the floor playing with all of Josie's new toys. And the birthday girl? She was right in the middle of all the fun!
"Is everyone having a good time at my party?"
Next it was time for Josie's cake-- and Mommy went a little overboard with the cake. My plan was to do a semi-farm theme for Josie's birthday and she has a pink pig that she likes a lot. We have a very good Italian bakery in our town that we typically order from for special occasions. I have never ordered something quite so "out of the ordinary" for them-- I didn't even know that a pig face was considered "out of the ordinary."
So, I had NO IDEA the bakery was going to go to town like they did decorating the cake. That is why the blog opens with a picture of the cake and I am posting it again here.
What can I say, we all thought it was tops and I want to be sure it gets proper billing.
"What the heck ISSSS that?"
Everybody was very anxious to have some of Josie's cake. The kids quickly called out which parts of the face they would like to have.
Big Cousin Abbie asked for the nose!
Camera man Daddy made sure he got his order in for a good piece of cake while it was being cut.
Mmmm, it was a yummy cake that everyone enjoyed.
After the cake was eaten and some packed-up to go home with our guests, Josie said good-bye and seemed a little bummed when all her guests were gone.
She soon realized that she still had Big Sis, Daddy and Mommy to play with her and all her new toys.
The next morning, Josie was up and ready to PARTY some more.
"Hey! Where is everybody?"
Big Sis Gabrielle and Phoebe were both happy to play with Josie Dong Dong, who was (and is) still very excited about all her new playthings.
"Josie's Kitchen is Open whenever you want to stop by!"

Josie's birthday party was a huge success and I had a splendid time! Every child present was a treasure and their parents right along with them! Can't wait for a vbite to eat in Josie Dong Dong's new kitchen.
XOXOXO
What a great party! Josie looks like she had a blast (and she made out like a bandito on the presents front!)
Have a great Thanksgiving.
