So my last post was about all the birthday's in February but wanted to give Em's party it's own post. ALOT of planning went into her party...I totally threw myself into the theme and had a lot of fun with it. I decided to do a Minnie Mouse theme since that's her favorite character right now (well with the exception of Simba from The Lion King--her fave movie at the moment). I did it with a twist though and used zebra and pink polka dot accents. I made tissue paper balls to hang over the dessert tables, covered the tables in zebra and polka dot fabrics and had pictures of the birthday girl everywhere. I put out a little bowl with Mickey and Minnie ears for guests to wear. I had Miss Gail come to sing songs with the kids and do a little dancing. Took them a minute to really warm up to her but in the end they all got into it! She had little instruments for them to play along with. It was a gorgeous day so we opened the patio doors up to the pool area and meadow--at the Clubhouse. I also set up a bounce house downstairs so after lunch the kiddos could go bounce off some energy. Sky arrived just in time with the beautiful Minnie cake she had made--it was almost 2 feet tall! It was delish--strawberry on one side and chocolate on the other. As luck would have it though, my camera battery started to die out halfway through the party! Could NOT belive it! But we did end up getting some good pics of the parrty and Megan helped take some for me. The Minnie cake help in its hands a smaller cake so Em got that one by herself to eat. Everyone sang Happy Birthday and she blew out her candle like a champ! Wondering what she wished for....
When everyone left, Aunt Lisa and cuz Alyssa stayed and we opened up their presents--a doctors kit and Mickey keyboard book from Aunt Lisa and a Princess dress up outfit from Alyssa. She loved the doctors kit and book and waited till we got home to try on her princess dress--she wanted to try her new dress up princess shoes from grandma Connie on with it. hehehe! We danced around a bit before leaving the Clubhouse. All in all, it was a fabulous party...I got lots of compliments on it. Everytime we drive by the Clubhouse now Em will say "over". Hahaha...I think she's waiting for next years! :)
