1. What is your favorite color? Golden & Silver
2. What is your favorite toy? Doc McStuffins Doctor Kit (Mom's note: I think this has already been replaced by the Ariel Doll Uncle Chevis gave her)
3. What is your favorite fruit? Fruit Cocktail
4. What is your favorite TV show? The Little Mermaid (Mom's note: Little known fact, Disney Jr has 30 minutes episodes of an old The Little Mermaid TV show.)

11. What is your favorite book? The Little Mermaid
12. Who is your best friend? Avery and the new girl at school who's name she can't remember (Mom's note: I told her that unless she remembered someones name they didn't qualify for best friend status)
13. What is your favorite cereal? The kind with the yummy "smarshmellows" in it (Mom's note: Lucky Charms and "smarshmellow" is my favorite mispronunciation ever)
14. What is your favorite thing to do outside? Play on the playground

20. What do you want to be when you grow up? (after very careful consideration) A Princess
 
For Elle's Birthday Party we decided to do a school-friend party this year.  Princess (try to contain your shock) theme. 
Here is the invitation:
 
We ended up with 6 kids (5 girls from Elle's class and her cousin Landon).  We had photo ops with a princess background, made Princess Tiara's, played Pin the Rose on Belle, Kiss the Frog, danced to Princess music and the highlight of the party: beat the heck out of a princess castle pinata.  Here are some pictures:
