Off to See the Wizard {Ava's 3rd Birthday Party}

                                            

  
Today was this little cutie's third birthday party! We had such a fun time celebrating her three years of life. 
She picked her theme of a Wizard of Oz birthday back in January when I was planning it all.

I really, really wanted to have her party outdoors so that I could go all out. My thoughts were to do a costume party, have all these fun themed snacks and games, and decorations & the whole nine yards. BUT every year it has stormed on her birthday/party day. So I decided to book it at a local jumphouse.

Well, wouldn't you know the weather today was absolutely perfect. Sunny, not too warm, and just great outdoor weather. However, this still turned out to be the BEST decision made, since we have just sold our house and we're knee deep in garage sale, decluttering, getting ready to pack up!
We invited about 20 of her little friends and she had the greatest time!
She was just beside herself all morning before we left the house.
This age is SO FUN because they are aware of what all a birthday entails. She had been talking about this day to every stranger she'd see the past week. She was thrilled when we went in to get her out of bed! I wish I would have recorded it.

She was patiently waiting for all of her guests to arrive!  
Sheila french braided her hair and I can't get over how grown up she looked! So bittersweet!!
The decorations in our little party room...
The favors
       
These ruby red slipper cookies were just as delicious as they were beautiful! My friend made them and she now has an Etsy shop here. She can make ANY COOKIE!

We ate pizza...  
                                                         
     We sang happy birthday as Ava grinned from ear to ear, sang along, and ate up all of
      the attention. She was singing while tilting her head from side to side. It was the
 cutest thing!
                                    



One of my ex student's mom made this ADORABLE cake for Ava. I was so blown away by how cute it turned out. The characters were so darling.

                                                          Some more pictures of her party...





                                         
                                         

We are so blessed to have such sweet, sweet friends come out to play, celebrate, and bounce! Thank you  to all who made her day so very special. She has talked about it nonstop since we got home. In fact, I can hear her in her bedroom, at 10:30pm, talking about her party. Might I add that she has been in bed since 8:00! Haha!
                                            And the fun continues tomorrow on her real birthday....

After having my girly girl in April of 08, and spending oodles of money on one of a kind boutique, monogrammed clothing (with hairbows to match), I decided it was time to learn this trade myself before I went broke! I learned how to sew, embroider, and make hairbows in a matter of 3 months. What started as a hobby has turned into a dream come true. I quit my job as a teacher and now work from home when the little one sleeps. My life as a mommy and a boutique clothing designer/manufacturer/monogrammer is truly the best of both worlds!! I have big dreams for the future of my family and the future of SheShe Made. Thanks for joining me as I blog about the journey. Let me know if there is a bow or outfit you'd like custom made for you! Email me at sheshebows@yahoo.com and thanks for stopping by!
