Wow, my little girl is 5 now! Seems like just yesterday that she was a baby! Every year brings new and exciting adventures with her...can't wait to see what this year has in store for us! This year we got to celebrate several times! We had an early party with grandparents and godparents. We had a small get together with 2 of Makayla's cousins, and then we celebrated and gave Makayla the gifts from us on her actual birthday! For her theme this year, she picked Hello Kitty and Flip Flops. We kind of merged the 2 themes together for all of the parties! She picked Hello Kitty because she's really into Hello Kitty lately and she picked flip flops because we had a pedicure playdate with her cousins! It all turned out pretty cute! And Makayla loved every minute of the celebrating!
Here's Makayla wearing her party dress and getting ready for her party with her grandparents and godparents.
Opening gifts!
Dad is reading her one of her cards!
How exciting! A bathtime baby doll!
Our fruit kabob display!
Here are some of our decorations!
Here's Makayla's flip-flop cake...made to coordinate with the tablecloth! (No, I did not make this one!)
We also had Hello Kitty cupcakes! I bought the cupcakes and the kids had fun adding the Hello Kitty decorations!
Cake and cupcakes, with a few starts to decorate!
The birthday girl, happily smiling as we sang Happy Birthday to her!
Oooh, how fun! An Amazon package came in the mail! Thanks Auntie Monica and Uncle Jeff...we used your gift at the pedicure playdate!
Here we are prepping for the next party...a pedicure playdate with Addison and Brielle. Makayla requested a blue polka dot cake! Here we are making the polka dots!
Here's the finished cake...this one I did myself! Not too shabby, if I do say so myself! There's a photo of the inside if you keep scrolling down!
Here are the chairs, all set up for the pedi party!
Our Hello Kitty and flip flop party favors!
Ahh, a little relaxation! Here are Addison, Makayla, and Brielle soaking their feet! None of them had ever soaked their feet before, but they all seemed to enjoy it...for about 5 minutes! Lydia was not into the foot soak, so she went right for the nail polish! All 4 girls got their toe nails and finger nails painted! :) I forgot to get a photo of the cute toes in the cute flip flops! Whoops!
The girls had fun playing with Makayla's gift from Auntie Monica and Uncle Jeff...some pearler beads that fuse together with a hot iron and make a neat design! They were all very patient to put the beads on the boards!
Time to sing to the Birthday Girl again!
Here's our polka dot cake! It came out pretty neat! We made a similar cake last Spring and Makayla just loved it, so we made it for her birthday too!
Finally, August 2nd, Makayla's actual birthday! I decorated the mantel with her gifts and the photo frames! She had fun opening her gifts when she woke up!
