Happy Birthday Adalyn

Adalyn turned 6 years old today. She opted to have a garden party which I was soooo excited about. I had seen a great idea for a garden party about a year ago and have really wanted to do one. Adalyn and I went and picked out a whole bunch of flowers for her party. She picked out the paper that is decorating the pot. Those are little ants coming up the side of the pot. We made a mud cake (oreos and pudding mixture) and had gummy worms throughout the "dirt". I taped flowers up all over the walls and then put flower on the table. There are little ant and bugs all over the table as well.

Adalyn wanted it to be a surprise so while I was decorating she went to my good friend Kelly's house. She was so excited when she saw it. WE had 3 families in the neighborhood come that Adalyn plays with all the time. There were 12 kids there and let me tell you- none of them have quiet voices. It was so LOUD. Adalyn was all smiles and had a great time. She asked for two things for her birthday- pet shops and transformers. She got both.

The kids decorated foam butterflies that they could take home. Me being the anal mom that I am wouldn't let the kids put on their on glitter. They had to bring them to me and let me put the glitter on so I wouldn't get glitter everywhere. Despite this they kids had a ton of fun and most of all Adalyn had a great birthday.
