confetti party!

We had a confetti party on Saturday. A really, really, crazy fun party. We played lots of confetti games and decorated cupcakes. I probably didn't have to plan anything else but let them play with that confetti. That's all they wanted to do was throw confetti at each other.  It was so cute to watch them.

And yes, we had confetti trailed all over the house. I'm sure we'll be finding it for weeks. Good thing for vacuums!

the party!

The party went so very well. I think they all had fun. They looked sweet all dressed up.  

My mom brought these little fan plates. I think they worked just right.

I felt bad we didn't have enough little kid chairs. But I didn't think they would mind kneeling too much and I don't think they even noticed. It was fun watching them find their names.

 I could have just sat there and listened to their conversation forever. I love little kids minds. It make it all worth it to see her so happy.

Amelie wanted to pour everyone's drinks. Isn't that tea pot perfect? We gave them sugar cubes to put in their lemonade. They had a field day with those.  No one really drank it thankfully. There was tons of sugar in those drinks. Tons.

We put lipstick on them and had them try to kiss the frog. It was funny.  

The big moment. She wished that she could go on a daddy-daughter date. Cute right?



party count down

Tomorrow is the big day for Amelie's birthday party. I'm excited for her. Yesterday we set up the little girls table where they will have their "tea party." We even made name cards. That's right. We are going all out for this little party. She loved it. I've been trying to include her in the preparations. She makes it so fun. We still have lots to do today, including the cake. Oh, my love/hate relationship with decorating cakes.  It'll make Friday go by fast!

  Have the best weekend!

LOVE.

I was going through some old photos and came across this one. I just want to eat her sweet baby toes. I made her that cake for her first birthday, after we gave her rights to it. We fully expected her to dive right in and she would barely touch it. Didn't want to get her hands messy. Even after I stuck her hands in she would just stick one little finger in and lick off the frosting. She always has kept us guessing.

P.S.- I got that frosting that color by adding a little bit of powder from a lime jello packet. I was so proud of myself.

party plans

In just a few weeks my little girl is going to be four. Four! She can hardly stop talking about it.  Her excitement has completely rubbed off on me. So today we started preparations. We made her little banner sign and I've been working on an invite for her. I know, we are going all out this year. I mean four, it's huge right? I just love her all the more for being a little party planner. These images are from Lemon and Lavender. A pink party, just what I was planning for my little Miss I'mnotoutgrowingmyilovepinkstageanytimesoon.  

First images from yours truly.  For some reason my invite shows up weird. I still don't know what I'm doing in illustrator. The others are from lemon and lavender (such a pretty blog to peruse) , and cakewalk.
