Diana's Butterfly Party - Decorations
Diana was very excited for her party today. She had to break into the food before the guests arrived but I figured, it's your party, you can do what you want, right? She liked the celery with cream cheese, raisins and pretzels that looked like butterflies and the fruit platter shaped like a butterfly (wish I would have gotten a better picture of it). We also had butterfly sugar cookies (homemade), gogurts, bowtie pasta salad, veggies and dip and cheese, sausage and crackers. The pink lemonade was a HUGE hit! Thanks to Jonathan. Brad thought I made way too much so Brad told Jonathan, you need to sell lemonade to the guests. Jonathan would yell, "Who wants some lemonade?" and all the kids came running. I was most excited about some of the decorations. My favorite, Jonathan has been talking about butterflies at school and did a couple crafts of butterflies. The other day though, he came home with about 20 paper butterflies. When I asked him about them, he said, "They are for Diana's party. I asked Mrs. Riccardi to draw a butterfly and then I cut them out." So adorable! Those are the butterflies in the picture below hanging in front of the gift bags. I think the gift bags turned out cute and had a solar butterfly pot, a watch it grow butterfly, homemade butterfly treat bags with jelly beans, a marshmallow stick and then the pinwheel attached to the front. I have also been stalking the dollar store for the flower and butterfly mylar balloons. I was pretty proud of my flower centerpiece and the number 2 butterfly hung in the front window. Happy Birthday to my "baby" girl! I loved your butterfly themed party!
