Olivia's 4th Birthday
Yesterday our little Olivia turned 4! I can't believe how time flies. On Sunday I decided she could have a small and simple birthday party. I think I stuck to my rules pretty good and it ended up being a great party. She invited her cousin Kara, Ainsley and 3 friends. We had a movie theme. First we made pillows out of "girls rule" fabric (of course) then we decorated popcorn bowls with vinyl crowns and flowers and then hunkered down and watched Dora while laying on their pillows and eating popcorn. I sent them home with their pillows, bowls, popcorn, capri sun and a treat. They especially enjoyed stuffing the pillows and it helped that I had them sewn ahead of time and we just had to sew the last 6 inches at the party.
After the party we had pizza for dinner and a party with a few family members. She requested a swim party in Uncle Nate and Aunt Nicole's pool so that is planned for Saturday with more family.
I hope her birthday was happy and that she always feels how much love we have for her. She is a special little girl and a very important part of our family! Happy 4th Olivia!!

ReplyDeleteYay! You are blogging! Fair warning - it can be very addicting. I just think it is an awesome way to record all those little things that we take for granted every day along with the "events" of our lives. Olivia's birthday looked like a lot of fun! I liked the pillow and popcorn bowl idea - you're so creative! Happy Blogging!
