Pinkalicious

Today Elizabeth had her birthday party. It was more-or-less based on the book, "Pinkalicious." We had Elizabeth's friend Elijah over, with his whole family. His mom had their twins two weeks ago, so they came to our house for the first time tonight.
Our Pinkalicious dinner menu was this:
Pink rice
biscuits with raspberry jam
BBQ chicken
strawberries
and
totally green salad to keep us all from turning pink! (If you've read the book, then you would know that the only thing to turn you from pink to normal is green veggies. So our salad was lettuce, cucumber, celery and avocado.)

Check out our rock star! We each had a pair of spiffy sunglasses, and Maddie is wearing Ryan's.

The pink cupcakes, with pink frosting, topped with a pink strawberry milkshake Whopper.

And Elizabeth finally got her pink cake.
