Birthday Party

Ally's 4th birthday party was an Olivia theme. (Olivia the precocious pig.) My parents, Beth, and Ally's Guatemala girls group came to the party. It was a blast!

Can you tell Ally had fun? I took the picture above half way through the party. I just love how happy Ally looks, and its proof that she had a good time. That was really our goal, that Ally have a good time at her party. I think we accomplished that.

With her birthday cupcakes - that she decorated.

Grandpa Frank brought a special puppy dog stuffed animal.

Aunt Beth set up a "balance beam" (tape in a line on the floor) and Grandma Barbie even tried it out. It was a huge hit with the girls.


Every year I get a picture of the 3 of them under the banner.

The Olivia banners Becky and I made one night last week. I just loved how they turned out.

The dining room all decorated.

The coloring station.

red sparkly play dough that Becky made.

Ally made a dog out of it.

I made a memory game of Olivia in different poses. Here the girls are playing it with me.

Becky read Olivia to them, and here is a shot of all 5 on Ally's bed. Roxie, Alice, Ally, Rosa & Gabi.

After the party we went to the park for a few minutes.

The birthday girl had a blast. She loved wearing her red and white striped dress "the same as Olivia".

I have lots more pictures to post and blog about but I wanted to get this up to share with family who were unable to attend the party. Tomorrow is Ally's actual birthday and she's excited about that.
