This was a party that we were thrilled to see come to fruition. We had to cancel it twice due to sickness in our home. So three long weeks after her birthday we were able to celebrate with friends.
Okay, let's talk about the theme for a minute: Last fall I started asking Elena what kind of party she wanted. Personally, I was pushing for a "carnival theme" since a friend was going to lend me her supplies. At first Elena went for it, but then out of the blue, became passionate about a "Barbie Party". I shot that one down, and thus began a pattern of her picking a theme only to change her mind the next day; Farms, Doctors, Family Cakes (?)... finally she announced she wanted a Penguin Party and she was sticking to it. Ahhh, okay, finally; one I can get my head around.
This party was going to be one where the parents dropped off the kids. My parents and friend, Liz were going to be helping... THANK GOODNESS. It was CA-RAZY but we all survived and did have a great time!!!
I am in love with these little cupcake toppers!
