Brielle's 4th Birthday!

The birthday girl!
ImageToday Brielle is 4 years old! She is getting so big so fast! We had a garden fairy princess party for her today and it was a lot of fun! My dad came to visit for Bri's birthday and he helped me with all the decorating for the party. He was awesome! I would tell him were i wanted things and he would put things up. I dont think he was expecting to do so much work on his vacation. Sorry dad!Thanks for helping me with everything!
ImageHere is the cake that i baked and then my friend Kelly put it together, frosted it and decorated it. She works at a bakery and decorates cakes professionally and she offered to decorate bri's for me.
i I think she did an amazing job! She even put edible pearls on it.
Image
ImageThere were 22 kids at the party. The boys got swords and shields and were knights while the girls wore wings and skirts to be fairies.
Imagei got the side walk chalk 75% off at target dollar bin so i paid 25 cents each! then i found these cute little candy boxes 10 for a dollar at the dollar store. all together 35 cents each party favor. for the boys i gave then chalk with a little happy birthday box in boy colors.Image
Imagei set up four kid tables and had centerpieces made from dippy cups from the dollar store and pixxi sticks and flowers.

Carter's 5th Birthday Party!

ImageToday, Carter had a swim party at our house. We had 4 blow up pools and two slip and slides. There were beach balls, water balls, water guns and water balloons. The kids had so much fun!


ImageI used all of our pool floaties to decorate the walls.ImageI bought the guitars and some of the other decorations at the dollar store and used scrap book paper and wrapping paper for a lot of decorating.ImageImageI THINK THAT THE DECORATIONS TURNED OUT CUTE, MINUS THE UGLY ORANGE CORD THAT LANDON STUCK UNDER THE TABLE.

SO WE GOT IT FOR $25.ImageI SERVED A BUNCH OF KID SNACKS LIKE POPCORN, PRETZELS, ANIMAL CRACKERS, GOLDFISH, MARSHMALLOWS, MINI CINNAMON ROLLS, MINI BROWNIES, FRUITS AND VEGGIES.ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageThe party turned out great and Carter got spoiled!!!!!
