We booked the date for a two hour party. They also let you bring in your own food, cake, etc at no charge, which is nice. I made sandwiches, brought snacks, and of course cupcakes from Teacake.
The activity consisted of making a clay pirate or princess and painting a blue sky and grass with clouds and then gluing the clay figuring so it was sort of a 3D figure. I wish I'd taken a photo of it but didn't have a chance. It turned out super cute.
The party favor were these handmade crayon rolls I got from Etsy - my fave place to support small, hand-made businesses. Ever since opening Teacake, I try hard to support small, handmade businesses as much as possible.
The day up to the party, Alia and I picked out her special outfit (a top and red tutu from a friend she got for Xmas) and we "hid" the special bday clothes in a special place. Each night, she'd want me to look at her hidden bday clothes in anticipation of wearing them the day of the party. She also knew it was going to the at the "art studio."
Another cute thing was that each night for about two weeks leading up to her party we'd recite who was going to her party. She'd say "I want to name my fwiends" and off we'd go listing them by name. Who was attending and who wasn't and why.
She had a great time. Happy birthday to my big girl Alia. Where did the time go?
All smiles right before leaving for her much anticipated birthday party
Happy 3rd birthday, Alia!
Owl toppers were from an Etsy handcrafter as well. Cupcakes from Teacake, of course.
Tim blew and put all these balloons and streamers up by himself, just for 1 1/2 hours.
Kian literally sat in his car seat almost the whole time without fussing and of course smiling anytime someone laughed with him. Dream baby!
