Elmo party





Lucy attended her friend Brielle's 2nd birthday party on Sat. All the kids wore red in honor of Elmo, they colored on a giant "Elmo's playhouse" wall, they went ga-ga over a real goldfish, just like Elmo's. The kicker? Elmo showed up himself to the party. I see Elmo coming in and can't find Lucy. I am wading through a sea of kids afraid that Lucy is cowering in the corner afraid of the giant muppet, when I see Lucy jumping up and down trying to get Elmo's attention so that he would acknowledge her or give her a hug. She spent the rest of the time following him around and yelling "It's Elmo!"

Towards the end of the party they had an Elmo pinata but instead of hitting it, it had strings that all the kids pulled to tear it apart for the prizes. Lucy somehow ended up with the rear of ol' Elmo in her hands and thought it was the greatest prize of all. She couldn't have cared less about the treats that fell, she had Elmos' butt in her hand and that was all she needed. Pretty funny.
