Rainbow Party!

Emmie's birthday was in late August and she'd been talking about her "Rainbow" party for months. Even though I'd been so sick and on bedrest, I knew that if she didn't have her party that she'd be crushed. We ended up throwing her a very low key, last minute party (invites went out on Saturday, and the party was the following Tuesday) & I was just grateful that I'd done most of the planning for it as I was planning Parker's the month before, so I had most of the things I needed for it. I felt bad for not inviting the boys she is friends with (we are surrounded by lots of little boys) but  I knew I couldn't handle that many kids...plus it was a rainbow party... girly, right?


The Birthday Cutie!
I can't believe she is five!

The party guests! (minus cute Emily who wasn't there yet)


The decor

 

 Chris took the day off to help me... I couldn't have done it without him! It was really simple though and these cute girls made it so easy - they are so great!

 

 The activities...
Lunch, decorating piñata bags, piñata smashing...

Bingo, with fruit loops of course. :)
(Um, bingo is a huge hit with 5 year olds!)

...Present opening...
I honestly love each of these cute girls so much! They all live closeby and we've carpooled either to dance, preschool, or gymnastic on top of many playdates...also I teach a handful of them in Primary at church...not only do I love each of them so much but I adore their amazing moms! Seriously all of them! One of whom sewed Emmie the cutest apron ever (top left) and gave a cookbook to go with... so fun and thoughtful!: :)

Watching them play together like this made my heart so happy... possibly one of the cutest scenes ever. :)

I couldn't pass up making a rainbow cake. :) Cotton candy for the clouds!
Would have made them fluffier but didn't realize we had bought multi colored cotton candy and ran out of blue.

I was soooo glad that we went ahead and went through with the party... and I'm pretty sure she was, too! I think her face says it all! :)
