First, let me start by saying it's been a crazy April and I haven't had time to blog...a good friend had triple by-pass, my mother-in-law had surgery...then a stroke on Good Friday, and April 1st my co-worker was in a horrific motorcycle accident and has been hanging on for dear life. Praying for healing and recovery for all, and I look forward to catching up with my bloggy friends again.
Secondly, for the past couple of months I've been planning a french inspired party for Ava (which she had this past weekend)! My little birthday girl, you are precocious, love to draw, talk non-stop, need your sleep like your mamma, and are a lot of spunk in a little package. We love you to the moon and back.
On a related note, I've been toying with the idea of starting a business that offers party accessories, details and planning. So warning...this post has lots of pics!
The Birthday Girl
F-O-U-R
As guests arrived they were greeted by a "FOUR" sign. I made each letter to look like a piece of candy

The Tableware and Special Waiters
The girls dined outside! I hung a personalized bag on each chair as a place setting and for the girls to carry their favors home in. We had two french waiters: Pierre (aka big brother) and Jean Claude (aka daddy)
Outdoor Decor
Flowers and Homemade Pom Poms

Birthday Cake
We had cake and cupcakes. I made Ava a little fondant cake that looked like a small round hat
Activities
Instead of a cake walk, we did a prize walk and the girls made necklaces

Are you kidding me?? That is the coolest party ever!! Sophia's birthday is in September and I have been toying with a black/white/pink party theme....SO amazing.

Happy Birthday Ava!!!
What a wonderful party! My sister started my niece out with fabulous parties at age 3 or 4...At age 5 or 6 they had a Hollywood party with all the girls having handmade "glamour dresses" sunglasses and long gloves, they had it at a local hotel with a fountain. When she was 12 it was Harry Potter and my sister recreated the Candy Store AMAZING! This year Lauren was 16 and we couldn't imagine what my sister had up her sleeve - well she left it to the kids! WHAT?
It was great, Lauren and her friends had fun, but the photos weren't nearly as great;) I think the two of you together could probably out plan ANY Hollywood party planner:)
Amelia BTW had a gymnastics party that took me about 2 hours to plan, buy supplies for and set-up at the gym she took classes at. In fact some of the guest beat me there (they were early!).
I'm not starting what I know I can't continue;)
could u do my next birthday! this is spectacular. the cake is amazing.
