This past Saturday we celebrated Sarah's 4th birthday with a Puppy Party.
Her first birthday party with friends, so fun!
It was so much fun. I asked my cute friend to take pictures at the party, so here is a preview of the event with some pictures I took before and after the party.
Okay, I have been really in love with the red & teal color combo, throw a little pink in for Sarah and it was just what I wanted. So when I found these "dog bowls" on clearance at Target I was stoked! They were perfect.
We made little bags of puppy chow...
and puppy treats to put in the bowl.
We also found these dog shaped silly bands
(okay, one is a bear, but it still was perfect!)
Cute little combination, don't you think?
I think the kids were excited to each get one.
Our decorations were pretty lame, but we did make this dog house for the guests to walk through when they came in, we also used it for musical dog house (a variation of musical chairs... kind of chaotic with 12 kids, but it worked).
Sarah loves her dog house, we have it tucked away in a corner of the house still for her to crawl in and out of. I'm glad she loves it so much.
My sad little dog house cake... so sad.
I thought I'd be creative and make it out of rice krispie treats.
Well, my frosting was drippy and it just looked like a bumpy blob house...
Oh well. And the "pupcakes" were pretty funny looking too.
Don't they look like little bat dogs? haha... whatever.
Abby took her nap during the party, but she had fun playing with the puppy ears afterward.
Each kid got a set of ears, dog collar and their face painted (if they wanted).
Oh yes, and she also had fun climbing on the table after the party (when mommy crashed on the couch for a power nap) and ate all of the faces off of the remainder pupcakes... she loved that.
Anywho...
It was a fun party. Can't wait to get the rest of the pictures so I can show you the mass of kids we had at the party. A lot of crazy in a tight space. Fun, fun, FUN!
