I love birthday parties! They are so much fun and this is the first one that she may actually remember! Ha - but I tried to stuck to a budget and I promised Kevin it would be low key. I think it turned out great and this Birthday girl was super smiley and giddy all day! I made the invitations with the help of Melissa from A Little Loveliness who sent me a file to help me re-create what she did for her daughter.
Thank you Melissa!
and that inspired the cake! I actually made this twice once for our family and also for this party. I got the idea and recipe from Tennessee Sugar
My favorite part was the middle! It might not have been perfect but it sure was yummy!
The favors were leg warmers for all the little ballerinas
Guess what this wreath is made out of? Mini Cupcake liners! I found the idea on Pinterest and it was super easy to do. I think I maybe making one for each season!
I loved how the Birthday girls wreath turned out. I first had it hanging but liked it on the mantle better. I saw this on Etsy but they were asking 50$. This one cost under 15$ and less than 2 hours of my time. Kind of sad though that I glue gunned her name down because I would have loved to use it again. Maybe I will bring it out each year and just replace the number each time!
In our dining room it was all about pink too! I made the runner without sewing a stitch. I am now a lover of Stitching glue - it is easy to use and I love that you can buy cheap fabric and create a runner for any holiday or celebration!
All the other decor was super simple and super pink!
The party actually started at the Dance Studio Addison goes to. She has tap and ballet class each Tuesday. So we decided during Spring Break this would be a perfect combination, a dance class and then our house for lunch. The teacher, Miss Morgan, is amazing and made all her little friends feel so welcomed! It was so much fun to watch them twirl and spin together!
All the little ballerinas!
Even though the class was for "older girls" Reese enjoyed a dance or two!
Then it was back to our house for lunch, cake, and more girl time! Unfortunately I didn't take a ton of pictures of friends that were there but I did manage to get a couple!
Love this picture
and singing Happy Birthday!
Make a Wish!
Happy 3rd Birthday! We love you Addison! You are such a fun, creative, kind little ball of energy. It is amazing how fast the last three years have gone by. I am impressed on how much you love "school" and how much you learn each and every day. You have quite the personality and your newest favorite thing to say is, "What's Happening?" You love being outdoors and you want to hold your sisters hand at every chance you get. You desperately want to learn how to ride a bike like your neighbors and you think any boo boo needs a Princess or Tinkerbell bandit. You have a sweet tooth like your Mommy and always asks to help in the kitchen when I am cooking or baking. You carry your pink bible around all the time and you are a great "reader." You still worry me when you go through your stages of wheezing and I am still praying that you grow out of it. If it was up to you the t.v would be on all day ( two shows a day is plenty though). At bedtime you sleep with all of your barbies and you barely have room to squeeze in. The song you request me to sing is the Dora theme song and you still insist we rub your back. We read 4 books at bedtime and it is always hard to narrow it down. It seems that some type of Pinkalicious book is always one of them. At times you have this whiney voice that makes me want to run to the hills and you have mastered a fake cry when you don't get what you want. But for the most part you are doing a great job helping me and being a good teacher to Reese. We are working on sharing and you still love to entertain. My favorite thing that you do right now is you always tell us how much you love your family. And we love you so much too!
Ohh and this is the face I got when I asked Addie what she wanted to do for her next birthday!
Luckily we have a lot of time to plan! xoxoxoox
