This weekend we had Ellie's birthday party and what a party it was! Our (small) home was filled with 10 kids ages 7 and under as well as even more adults. Ellie wanted a butterfly theme so there were butterflies everywhere! She had a fantastic time playing with her friends; she told us that was her favorite thing about her birthday.
Aunt TT and Uncle Ty drove 7 hours to be here for Ellie's birthday party. Ellie was so happy they were there!
Once everyone was here, we started with a "pizza picnic". We were trying to minimize the pizza mess!
After pizza we had a few activities for the kids. One was decorating a frame with foam stickers. During the party my mom took pictures of each kid and put it in the frame for the goody bag.
Another activity was making a pair of butterfly wings. We ordered these thick paper wings and let each kid decorate a pair. It was so cute to see lots of kids running around with wings on! You can also see one of the other activities in some of the pictures - Mimi painted everyone's face with a butterfly (or any other special request!).
Butterfly cake!

The goody bag - a butterfly activity book, butterfly stickers, a butterfly ring, a butterfly ornament, the decorated frame, a Smarties butterfly (paper wings taped onto a roll of Smarties), and of course their butterfly wings!

And of course, Audrey found the party quite exciting.

Looks like the party was so much fun!!! I'm so glad Ellie had a great time at her party and with her friends!!!
What a great party! It was SOOOOOOOO much fun to see the little girls playing together. You could imagine what their days are like at school. They get along so well and are so sweet together. Each little butterfly looked more like an angel!
