She waits for her friends in the warm shining sun, won't you come to her house to join the fun?
The garden is full of fairies the flowers all dancing with glee,
All dreams and wishes will come true, as our little Isla turns three!"
Isla's third birthday party was pixie perfect! All her little friends arrived at 2:30; the girls dressed up in their fairy best. Isla sprayed glitter (pixie dust) in all the girls' hair so they could be like Tinkerbell. The party was held in our front yard and they had little stations to play in. The first station was flower pot decorating. I painted each child's name on the pot in fairy print and they could decorate with foam sticky shapes. Then I had a bubble wand station, hopscotch, bean bag toss into flower pots, swinging and sliding. Our first game was the rainbow walk. I played the main song from Tinkerbell and the little fairies walked around in a circle and would stop on a cloud when the music stopped. I then pulled out a color and whoever was on that colored cloud won a prize. Of course we played until eveyone won. The girls won stick on earrings and the boys won rain sticks. Next I explained the story of the tooth fairy and how she leaves behind coins when she picks the teeth. Meanwhile John was sprinkling nickles and pennies around the front yard. Each child got a little pail and then had so much fun treasure hunting for the coins. After a little game of duck, duck, goose, it was cupcake time. Cinottis made strawberry cupcakes with buttercream frosting and little fairy wings on top with edible glitter sprinkled all over. There wasn't a cupcake left! I also had made little jars of pixie dust (baby powder and glitter) and the kids had a blast sprinkling it all over and rubbing it on their arms and legs. The favors were their decorated flower pots filled with a shovel, seeds, mini pixie dust jars, and a bag of gumdrops. I had so much fun seeing all the little girls fluttering around in their costumes and the weather was perfect, again. We have had all 3 of her birthday parties in our front yard and it's always been gorgeous outside. Here are some of my favorite pictures from her party:
