Hayden turns three this month. It’s bittersweet. I truly love this age right now. She’s so much fun. She’s just old enough to be funny and smart and is really becoming her own unique little human, yet still at that age where everything is new and exciting and she’s a sponge.

Due to everyone’s changing work schedule we only had a couple dates to choose from to throw Hayden a birthday bash. We opted to have 2 tiny parties. One on the 1st, with family. And one on the 22nd, with all her fun tiny friends.

So this last weekend we celebrated with party #1. It started with lots of adorable decorations. Like banners and the smallest cutest tissue balls.

You always need balloons. Especially polka dot ones.

The candy bracelets definitely needed to be guarded by the ponies.

A birthday cake with George monkey and of course, a delicious juice bar.

Uh, pin the tail on the zebra? Yes please!

We needed more things to do. Like fun photo props and a dress up station.

Dress? Check. Heels? Check. Hat? Check. The party girl was ready to go.

Party # 1 was a success. Hayden opened all her wonderful gifts from everyone, we stuffed ourselves with food and cake and all took part playing dress up.

 

There was a very Lion King moment with the Curious George cup.

I am grateful to everyone who contributed, and helped make her celebration a success. We all laughed and smiled, giggled and played. It was a perfect way to help a little girl feel like a real princess for a day.
