Having just moved here, Addy doesn't have any little friends yet. But she really wanted a birthday party, and how do you say know to that?!? So in less than 3 days I made some quick decisions about what to make, buy, cook, etc. and had everything ready just in time for a few guests (yay for Matt's work friends and neighbors!).
Addy's favorite color is pink, and we found some pink and purple tissue paper to decorate with. So I spent the night before the party making this tablerunner:
Matt helped out my making all of the
tissue paper pom-poms:
They make the room so festive!
Then I whipped up a few goodie bags for the kids. (No pink here! Boy bags were made from an Echino print with airplanes and girl bags were made from a FFAII print.)
Inside the bags I put a pencil, a snack bag, and a "kiddie portfolio" that holds crayons, paper, chalk, and a small chalk board:
I also picked up some beads and string for the big kids, and a safe toy for the little ones.
Toss in a little bit of grilling, some store-bought cupcakes, and some new toys to open, and we had a great party!
Happy 4th Birthday, Addy!

Wow, looks great! Love the bags and portfolios, you were a busy Mama for those 3 days! Hope Addy had a great party :-)
I am so sorry but I was disconnected from the internet and did not realize it and kept clicking on the submit button. Then when I reconnected all the clicks showed up. I am embarrassed but just wanted to commend you for the birthday challenge you conquered. Looks like a great time.
You made such nice decorations and I'm sure she had a wonderful party. The goodie bags are too cute and will be terrific for those times when little ones need to be entertained.
Good job! Wonderful goody bags. I'm sure everyone had a great day.
I'm impressed with what you made for the party :) Hope Addy had fun at her birthday party!!
Wow! I'm mega-impressed with all that you did. I'm sure Addy had an awesome time. Can I hire you for G's birthday in December? :)
