Tropical Girl's Birthday Party

I still can't believe my baby girl is NINE, wowzers!

Where has the time gone?? 

She wanted to have her Birthday at the indoor water

park near us, so picked a tropical motif for Mama to

work her magic with this year. It was fun working 

with all the fun colors and seeing her face light

up when she saw the decorations, was the icing

on top of the store bought cake.

(yup, I'm that Mom)

Before her big day, we of course had to make 

party invitations, no store bought of digital ones

for this family...

Addie had fun coloring all the toucan birds, I 

cut them out and we used a pop dot to made them

fly off the invitations.

Her simply "loud" store bought cake was 

gobbled up by all the sugar hungry party girls...

A bit of coordinating party table flair to adorn the tables.

We picked up a carton of tiny paper umbrellas and scattered

them in the middle of the tables with tropical flowers, that the 

girls had fun playing with while they were waiting for the

pizza to arrive.

and finally a Thank You to all her silly friends for

helping make her 9th Birthday a splashing success!

 We made flower hair clips and added a few pieces of 

candy taffy to their thank you bags.

Happy Birthday baby girl, I LOVE you
to the moon and back!!
