Leve Turns 4

As I said, we are heavy with Birthdays this time of year...and Leve turned 4! It was so much fun...I had to share some photos of that fun evening! She (of course) went with a Strawberry Shortcake Theme.
(The party was planned in D-town and then we all went over to W-town for the actual party...afterall, that's where Our People are!)



Kiki and Leve were in charge of putting out the Strawberry Shortcake Decorations. I like to put up a photo from each Birthday so we can remember the child at each age. These are just mounted onto foam core and hung with painter's tape.  At the end of the night they go back into the "Birthdays" Box.

Party Favors & more decor....the bottom shelf (not shown) was for playing with toys.

Part of Leve's gift were large Strawberry Shortcake stickers for her wall by her bed....
we cut them out and taped them to the wall for the party. She and Kiki had a blast deciding where they should go.


Normally we stick with solid colored party ware, but do themed napkins to make it special....and save $$$.


Pre-party next to her crazy straws...she was SO excited about these!
Note her outfit from Grandma & Grandpa...so cute!

She picked her own menu and Green Scene and Grandma M made it happen...fruit, pizza, and spaghetti.

TJ wasn't feeling 100% that night...just VERY warm and a small rash...so he was in a diaper most of the night. *He is in paper because we were in W-town. We are currently only using cloth in D-town...it just keeps life simpler.


The crew eats...check out the Birthday Girls' face...she slays me!
AMAZING friends and Godmothers to 2 of my children...can't you just SEE how great they are?!

A view of the entire room...very small, but FULL of love!

These two. ;)

How could you NOT love this photo?!

Prior to presents Kiki had everyone downstairs to take part in her "FAIR"...she had set up games and activities for everyone to do in the basement....since most of our possessions are in storage or in D-town she had to be pretty creative. I wish had better photos of all that she did. What an awesome Big Sister. :)
Present time...she had changed clothes into her Lemon Meringue t-shirt she and I had made together....she colored a photo, I scanned it, then printed it onto transfer paper and ironed it to shirt.

TJ tried to find a good place to sit....next to Grandpa C and Grandma M?


Next to J?


H's lap seemed to be the right spot!

Cake time! The tops to the cupcakes were erasers...so fun!



Excited to blow out her candles (in outfit #3!!!)

Waving the smoke away!

Girl Party Favors.
(Boy party favors were Superheros and treats)


She wanted a photo with all her friends where they closed their eyes...so funny!

Homemade strawberry hats.



"Where's your hat, H?!"

So CUTE.

Leve with her most of her Godparents...just missing 1. What a blessed little Girl!


Even "Green Lantern" was tired by the end of the party!
