It's Party Time

Between kindergarten graduation and her 6th birthday, it was a pretty big party week for Isabelle. Of course, she's all about a party. I hadn't realized that she'd inherit the enthusiasm for hosting at such a young age. She often invites people to parties that she's supposedly throwing. She plans out a theme, games, decorations, invitations, etc. Then she extends a sweet invitation to everyone she comes in contact with. At this age, she doesn't see why on earth you couldn't just throw a grand party any old time. Ah, but I digress.

The kindergarten class put on a fashion show as part of the graduation program. The kids wore their favorite clothes, costume, uniform, etc. and walked on the “runway”. Issie chose to use most of the items in her dress up box to put together a fairy princess ensemble aka her evening attire.

And the birthday party… She struggled between rainbows and unicorns for a while but we eventually came up with a candy party theme (which was good because I wasn’t quite sure how the others would go over with the boys- do boys like unicorns?).

After seeing these on the HWTM blog, I made these lollipop invites.


Isabelle threw on a little pre-party show while we waited for all the guests to arrive.

We made candy necklaces and played a little candy toss game. Originally I was going to use mini m&m bags as bean bags but no one is selling that size right now. So mini snickers it was.

Her cake was a skittles rainbow (two birds with one stone, ya know?). I found this cute number 6 sparkler that we put in the cake. I thought she’d be so excited but really she was more surprised…and disturbed…and confused as to why I was lighting her cake on fire!

I love this girl! She's quirky and funny and sweet, truly sweet.
