The day before Arianna's Big Day

For Arianna's party I decided to do something especial (at least in my mind) and I crocheted 12 stuffed toys for the kids that were coming and I put them in their party bags. (The animals were done by two books that Mike got for me.) Which one do you like? Arianna's favorite was the elephant, so I am going to make one for her. Unfortunately, there were some kids (about 4) that I did not know they were coming so I have extra bags done, but no toy.


Arianna learned pretty quickly how to use his new car. I am sure she will love a horse, but at least she knows how to ride her car now! She liked that the seat goes up and down and you can put stuff in the container. She did this for about an hour. In the coaster - Out the coaster. What is it with children and a coaster?








The day before her party, I went to buy some last minute stuff and found this crown. She does not like anything in her hair, but I liked her reaction on this picture. Like she is saying "Oh no, why mommy keeps trying to put stuff in my hair?" Or maybe she is thinking if I was a queen, I will have so much to fix in this world. :)




Around 9 pm, we decided to catch the last hour of the HOT ROD and Classic Car Show sponsored by our village. I don't know much about cars, but they had some beautiful and awesome cars. I have to say that the ambiance is quite different in the world of muscle and classic cars, but it was nice to see. My favorite car was a hand built car. It looked from the 60's with a copper/chocolate color and a beautiful beige interior. I know it was an old Ford, but I don't remember the make. Another car that I liked was a pink/beige color from the 60's. It reminded me of the first installment of Back to the Future. Ari liked to see the cars and all the children that were around us. It was a nice way to end the day. Kudos to Mike for going , even though he was feeling a bit under the weather.
