A Very Pink Birthday

First off, thank you for taking the curtain poll. I really appreciate you input. You guys rock!

Over the weekend, we celebrated my youngest daughter's 4th birthday.




Check out the bunting. It's supposed to say "Happy Birthday", but the lettering blended in too much with the fabric I chose. Hehe... ooops! However, I like the festive look, so they stayed up anyway.

We decided that we like Tulle. We really, really like using it to make a Magic Entrance.
My older daughter and I had fun making our Pouf Pink Centerpiece:

My husband made his chocolate cake from scratch (it's so good), and I, um, decorated it.
"Cool! Four hearts for the four-year-old!", said my husband. Er yeah! I totally planned it that way... not!
You can tell it's home made. Who wants to sign up for cake decorating classes with me?

We had a busy weekend! We had family and friends over on Saturday for a birthday dinner. On Sunday, we had a small crafty party for my daughter and her friends. We danced to Lady Gaga, played silly games, did a treasure hunt and ate yummy snacks.
We also made Princess Party hats. Most importantly, we made Princess Tutu skirts and princess necklaces for our own Fairy Bears:


Happy Birthday, Little (Big) Girl!
P.S. - I'd like to keep the illusion that I had all this planned out a long time ago, but you know it's not true. The bunting was done on Friday. I brainstormed for the little girls' party at 10:15am in my car on Saturday morning after teaching a yoga class, and went shopping for the party items at 10:30am. When I got home, we grocery shopped, bought one ice cream cake, made the special cake, cooked dinner for a bunch of people, decorated(and cleaned) the place, and planned out next day's little people party.
Talk about being last minute and scrambling eh? My husband and I, we work well under pressure. Thank goodness Sunday dinner was taken care of. We just showed up at our friend's house for her Feijoada party. Her feijoada is to die for.
