Butterfly Party

September 18, 2012 By Christie

  DSC_0722 party Invitations and Party Favors I made the invitations with picmonkey and just printed them off at home since the photo lab I used was having problems.  DSC_0637 I saw these fun butterfly treat bags on a few websites.  I filled mine with that red party string stuff because it was a ton of candy in each baggie! DSC_0677 Simple favors—just the butterfly treat and bubbles, and of course they got to keep their butterfly wings.  I found those at Asian City in West Jordan (UT), for $1.99 each. DSC_0678DSC_0679DSC_0687   Decorations and Food I found most of my inspiration (and full out copying) for the décor on THIS post.  So pretty.  I bought the paper lanterns at Asian City also, but I’ve bought some of these before online. DSC_0685 Bailey LOVED helping me decorate! DSC_0680   I made some ruffled crepe paper streamers to hang from the borrowed canopy (I first saw this idea HERE).  DSC_0704 I used my silhouette to cut out a lot of pretty butterflies for the whole party—for the paper lanterns, the party favor bags, etc. DSC_0691DSC_0692 And Bailey was thrilled when she spotted these at the dollar store—and they were on sale, so each pack of 8 (plates, cups, napkins) were only $0.25 each!  DSC_0693DSC_0708DSC_0709DSC_0710 Getting so excited for everyone to come! DSC_0711 The front door just had a few pretty butterflies taped to it. DSC_0715 DSC_0720 DSC_0721 The Games We kept the games very simple, since they were all four year olds.  Plus we took play breaks in between each activity. First, we chased and popped bubbles.  DSC_0725 DSC_0726 Next, we decorated some butterflies with some stickers and markers (and a dragonfly for the cute boy in the pictures).  Most of them took a really long time to color and decorate.  You should have heard the fun they had while they chatted and colored.  It was very entertaining!  DSC_0712DSC_0740 DSC_0752DSC_0755 DSC_0760 The last structured activity was painting butterflies on their adorable faces.  DSC_0688 I’m no expert face painter, but with each kid I got better.  I think I should have practiced it a bit beforehand, but they still thought it was awesome.  DSC_0762 And that is that!  Happy Birthday to my beautiful brown-eyed girl!

Memorable Moments June 2015

~Ruby says "Thank You" when you give her anything. Except it's more like "Day Oooo." I love it. She's also trying harder to say please (or Peeeeze) for things she wants. What a polite little girl :).

~Yesterday Bailey came down with the Clone Trooper costume on, which is 4 sizes too big I'm pretty sure, and her bull horns on. It was awesome. And sums up this girl pretty darn well.

~Carson told us that he was the laughing stock of Primary on Sunday. He meant to say the Class Clown :).

~Devon's so funny these days. If you catch him doing something he shouldn't be, he gets an innocent little smile and then starts rolling his eyes everywhere except looking at you. :)
