When we asked her what kind of party she wanted this year...she immediately said ballerina. My little girl loves everything princess, dance related, twirly and PINK.
We surprised her in the morning with a room filled with balloons. She didn't immediately notice but when she did it was priceless. Liv liked gently throwing them up in the air and watching them float down. Sophie liked drop kicking them.
Liv helped with the decorating of the signs, balloons, table cloths and the cupcakes. Thank you Pinterst for all the ballet ideas. What have I done all the years without you???
Here is the site for the ballerina cupcake toppers http://partiesandholidays.blogspot.com/2009/06/ballet-cupcakes-and-wands.html
and then I added a little tulle around the bottom of the cake stand. A few weeks ago I started making the party favor bags and Liv loved helping write every ones names and stuffing them. She probably liked it so much because she knew she was getting one of the bags with the goodies in it:)
Sophie had to be a ballerina too. She loves to copy everything Liv does...even dressing like her now. It's super cute to see them doing things like this...super scary too.
I finally finished Olivia's birthday present (with a little help of the finishing coat from my mom!). I ended up running out and getting a dark walnut stain at the last minute to make the wood even darker. It came out super cute. What's even more cute is that Olivia has used it every time she's wanted to color or read since getting it. I think that's a sign that she's going to be a total dork like her mom and dad regarding school work....
Dave and I kind of trapped ourselves by getting her a bouncy house for her second birthday. Now she thinks it's party of any birthday party. Awesome.
We had an amazing day with our girls and our family. I live for my kids birthdays. Everyday is special but I love making birthdays the BEST.
