Hallie's 4th Birthday Party

Hallie's 4th birthday party was a complete success, I think it was as much fun for me to plan and put on as it was for Hallie. She wanted to have a fairy garden party with lots of flowers and that is what we did. She and I started at Ben Franklin where she picked out sparkly paper and pretty flowers for her invitations. Later we went to the dollar store to pick out lots of flowers, party favors and the garden hats that we would decorate with even more flowers. It was really fun doing all this with Hallie and getting her take on it. Hallie saw the suckers and I came up with the fun idea of having sucker flowers as the center pieces, and Rosie shared her butterfly cupcake idea with me, which was perfect. Over all it was truly beautiful and really fun to break out some of my creativity, and most importantly Hallie LOVED it.


When the friends arrived the fun began. The girls each picked a hat and covered their hats with flower clips, they were so adorable. Next they all went down to sing happy birthday to Hallie and eat LOTS of treats. The girls loved the butterflies on the cupcakes, and were really excited when they realized they could eat them. In fact they all spent most of the time on the wings rather than the other food. After they were all sufficiently stuffed with sugar, we all went outside for an easter egg hunt, followed by pressants. To finish it all up we had a Tinkerbell pinyata, which was fun. I thought we might have planned too much, but in the end I was glad that we did because it all went really fast. It was a fun day, and Hallie was sad when it was all over, she wished she could have another party. She even started planning the next party theme and who would be invited. I love my little Hallie, she is truly a sweet heart.
