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!
