Well the long planned party is finally over! And well kind of glad it is. Although, I love doing all this planning so I can make my little one happy. Even though I run myself through the ground trying to make it all special. After a long day doing some finishing touches on decorations and also having to dirty dishes to keep Aaliyah fed before the party even starts which I didn't want to do, because I had all my dishes cleaned. I am extremely exhausted at the moment. Everything was fine, we decide to show Aaliyah's party on blogtv.com for all family members to see. I think I'll be doing skype next year instead. Aaliyah was impatient for her cake while waiting for Jonathan, Uncle Robbie, Aunt Jody & cousin Shaye to arrive so I turned my back to put the shrimp in the oven and she had her whole hand in the cake scooping out a big blob of cake and ate it! Nothing really I could do, because it was her birthday after all. And also her cake. Finally after our uncle, aunt and cousin arrived an hour late, we all ate and then brought Aaliyah her cake with the candles on it and she was so upset, from being taken away from her birthday present that Uncle Robbie and Aunt Jody bought her which was a tricycle barbie themed one. She was throwing a tantrum so bad that she didn't care about the cake. She slammed herself hard onto her bum straight onto the tiled floor then jerked herself backwards with force and was kicking and crying and screaming. So, we couldn't get her to blow out the candles so I just said aloud over her crying 'Lets blow out the candles and make a wish for her.'
Haha thank God it is all over with really. I am just glad to be rid of this whole day. I am going to go to bed now and also put this little one to bed as well she is getting cranky and rubbing her eyes and climbing onto the couch and cuddling to me while laying her head onto my bosom like a pillow. I guess those gigantic things came to good use for something! LOL hahaha.

Cinderella Party
Aaliyah's 2nd birthday is only 15 days away, although we are celebrating it on the 25th instead of the 30th. I am sitting here gathering all the ideas I have come up with for her party, although, I am still at a loss for what to make for the food. I don't want to do pizza, that is so common. I also do not want to do the typical finger foods like sandwiches and sweets. I want to make a decent meal that says 'we're having a party,' with out making it an original everyday meal.
As for the theme, we are going to do Disney/princess again. I would like to do tinkerbell, but Aaliyah is still liking both that and Cinderella, and I have more access to Cinderella decor at stores than there is anything tinkerbell. Plus, I still have this photo prop of Cinderella from her 1st birthday. I am so excited! Aaliyah's response from her 1st birthday party was so fun. She had her eyes bulging out of her head trying to make sense of the candles on the cake along with those things, what are they called. Yes I've got it sparklers. It was a very tiresome day for the little princess. I am almost thinking about going to west edmonton mall or either the garden mall, because they both have the Disney store, and just go buy the Cinderella dress for her to wear. It would be great for pictures!!
As for decorations for new stuff, they have some Cinderella stuff in the $ store! I can't believe how much awesome things the $ store is bringing in. The $ store I shop at has a party store called Party Palace, which covers decorations for all themes, from princess, cowboy, halloween, christmas, all cultural religious stuff and even adult wear which is more like lingerie. They have really nice wedding attire there as well. And very nice balloons as well. I could go on, but I think you get the picture, there is not a theme they don't have. Anyways, my point is it is expensive there, but the $ store carries the same Cinderella table clothes and napkins, balloons etc as the party store, but for way over half the price.
Well, I am going to go for now. I got a lot of planning to do still. And we are picking up her cake today at DQ, because I got a certificate for $5 off our next cake, which expires today. So, we will keep it in the freezer until the party. Thankfully the $5 off certificate was given to me the month of my birthday back in december and they had attached the certificate to my cake. Which is good for me and the rest of us, because Jonathan and I love their cakes and so does our little princess. Also, my uncle Robbie and aunt Jody love it as well. So, I can't see them complaining about DQ cakes.
I also have to get going for this main reason as well. I have to have a lot of batteries charged and my camera lens cleaned and I am going to take pictures of the party in such a way to make people feel like they are there celebrating with us. I am going to put them in albums for Aaliyah's two sets of grandparent's, along with her great grandparents from my side as well. So I best be going so I can jot down the things needed at the $ store and write some more ideas that are popping in my head.
