the rainbow art party...

i promise the birthday posts are about to end, but you can't turn 6 without at birthday party!!!

olivia started asking last year for an art party.  she LOVES art!!  last year i talked her out of having the party at our house and doing the american girl store with the women in our family.  that was a blast, but o has not forgotten that she wanted to have an art party at our house.  i decided that since she had been asking for over a year that this was the year for the rainbow art party.  it was so much fun to plan because olivia was very involved.  she helped decide on the projects we would do, the food we would serve, and she even created the game we played all by herself.

we prepared everything for the party...

the invitation

the food table

the party favor bags & game notebooks

the welcome sign to direct our guests to the party

rainbow cake in mason jars

5 minutes before party time our first guests arrive...

abby, the birthday girl, and kk

as we waited for all the guests to arrive the girls were busy coloring, drawing, and making jewelry...

next it was time for the main event, let the owl painting begin...

 then it was game time and a group picture in the backyard...

 and finally... happy birthday, cake, and ice cream!!

love this smile while everyone was singing to her!

making her wish...
