Think of the happiest things....

it's the same as having wings.

Here are Porter and Carlee sitting with the invitations to Carlee's birthday party that they helped make. If you cannot tell, they are fairy wands. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the heart shapes and all of the kids names. Then we hung curling ribbon from the stars that had the information about the party on the back of the tinkerbell paper.

Carlee had her birthday party yesterady to celebrate her turning three!! We had so much fun, the kids were such a treat to watch. First when the kids got here we sat around the table and made our own magic wands. Andy went to Lowes and got some clear plastic tubing so we could put shiny pipe cleaner, star sequins, and jewels down inside them, and then we sealed the ends with colorful modeling clay.

Sadie showing us her wand.

Then we headed to the living room for a game of "follow the fairy". I found a great set of fairy wings from the dollar store for yes, one dollar! I think the biggest thing with that game was to hit your wand on the floor or to swing it around as fast as you could. Porter was definetly the most creative by putting his wand on his head trying to balance it, pretty funny to see.

Porter and Cambria listening to the rules of the game, Porter was so cute in the wings!

After the game it was time for cake. I love the screaming and the excitement that follows after you ask the kids who wants cake. It is like a tornado, the noise of the running and their voices as they tell eachother where they are going to sit and what piece of the cake they are going to eat.

The tinkerbell cake that Carlee wanted.

I love the look on Carlee's face here, she looks so happy.

The cupcakes, I left them white so that they could choose which sprinkles they wanted put on.

All of the kids devouring the goods.

Carlee looks like she is really enjoying her cake.

After the cake, we all know, it's present time!!

Carlee got some great gifts at her party, she has played with everything non-stop, it really is like Christmas all over again, not just for the kids, but for Andy and I too. It is so fun to see your children so happy. Thank you to everyone who came and helped us celebrate Carlee's special day.
