Hello Kitty Pajama Party

Our sweet Sienna turned 6 on December 29th, and just like every other year, she was VERY specific about what she had in mind for her birthday party. This year, she chose a "Hello Kitty Pajama Party" theme, and although she would have LOVED to have all her little besties actually spend the night at our house, Mama chose to interpret the theme a bit more creatively ;-)

We started out with these cute invitations (I took out the address & contact info for this post), and designed the entire party around them.

After much "discussion" between the two of us, I finally gave in and decided we could have the party in our home again this year, which meant a massive overhaul of the garage just in time for the big day!

I rented the tables and chairs, and then dressed them up a bit with zebra print & hot pink tulle. I also hung crepe paper "chandeliers" from the ceiling to add a little flair to what is otherwise a plain & not so pretty garage space.

The Details

Sienna is a HIGE fan of donuts, so of course we had to incorporate a donut tower into our decor!

The beautiful (and delicious) strawberry cake

For our craft, I had the girls decorate white pillowcases with Crayola fabric markers. The girls had a blast designing their pillowcases, and they also served as part of their party favors.

The birthday girl was thrilled with how everything turned out, and even though it was a lot of work putting everything together just a few days after Christmas, seeing her sweet, smiling face made it all completely worthwhile!!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Our sweet little boy turned "3" on Saturday, and we celebrated at home with a Mickey Mouse soiree. Grant had been talking about wanting a Mickey Mouse party for months, and I spent the last 2 weeks hunting down everything MM I could get my hands on..........not as easy I thought it would be!!

Here's what we were able to pull together:

Four Generations

We were so blessed to have temperatures in the 70s on the big day (especially since the high here for tomorrow is 12 degrees!!). Of course now that I am looking back on all the photos, I realize I didn't get a shot of all the kids with their Mickey Mouse ears on, and I didn't take nearly enough photos of the birthday boy (he never slowed down long enough), but if the success of a party is measured by the smile on the birthday boy's face, then this one was a definite success!!

Happy Birthday sweet Grant.......we love you so very much!!
