I begged her to stay three for just a little while longer but she wouldn't go for it. She was just way too excited to be turning four. Of course, with birthdays come PARTIES!
We opted to just have it in on Sunday afternoon in our church's fellowship hall. Lots of room, tables, and chairs. I'm so glad we did because these 11 little girls were cute as could be, but MESSY. Mine included. She ended up getting herself drenched in pink lemonade not once, but twice.
She wanted a Minnie Mouse party (of course). She picked out this "Minnie Shopper" cake at Kroger and it turned out to be very tasty.
See that Minnie head? Three styrofoam balls, some black spray paint, and a home-made bow. Easy-peasy. Found this idea on-line somewhere and had to use it. I also made bows for each of the girls and attached them to store bought ears. Wish I would have taken some good pics of the decorations but I was just too busy, so I ended up just handing the camera over to my brother (thanks, Dale!) .
Pinata time! Birthday girl gets the first good whack in of course. Our "stick" was a miniature Louisville Slugger bat..a souvenir from a trip to the Slugger museum.
Opening presents.
Kerry had such a fun time at her party. I had fun just watching her and her friends running around with their balloons, squealing and smiling ear to ear...so cute. I realized, also, afterwards that 5 of the 11 girls present are all part of a family through fostering and/or adoption.

Gin...what a lovely party, you did really well with all those decorations! I had to laugh at that first pic of Kerry with thE bat, how determined did she look BTW ;D
And like me, you dont jump in the photos very much...so it was great to see Mummy & Daddy too! I hope you sat down and enjoyed a good rest after it was all over :)
