I think I will always be amazed at how simply one can put together a fun birthday party with little stress and little money. My sweetie pie turned seven last week and we had a "family" party. She was insistent that we still have a theme, even though it wasn't a "friend" birthday party. Butterflies. That was her theme of choice. What could be more perfect for a cold, cold January birthday?
She designed her cake on a piece of paper. With a few candies from the store and some bright food coloring gel, we pulled this off...
- Used my favorite program, Print Shop, to design a quick banner...
- Wrapped presents with Costco's reversible and colorful wrapping paper...
and printed out dozens of butterflies to decorate the house (as seen in the various pictures).
- Invited the cousins over and played the candy bar game - a favorite. This time we used snack size candy bars - less expensive and more to go around.
Most importantly: Lots of love!
Don't forget the princesses:
Happy Birthday to my little princess. I hope your day was filled with butterflies to last you all year long! Loves!
More to Come...but until then, Stick-to-it!
Thank you for letting us celebrate with you! She's a doll!
