Gianna's 5th Birthday!

I can't believe my little girl turned 5 on September 29th! She's the best!
The day was super busy and I think she loved every minute of it! We started with soccer in the morning and we were in charge of bringing the snack, which was very exciting for some reason.

Then we came home and I flew into party prep mode! I was pretty proud of my non-crafty, non-creative self for coming up with (stealing from the internet) ideas for an activity-filled, fairy themed party. Skip ahead if you're not interested in a party description. I just want to document this in case I'm never crafy again...a distinct possibility.  I made cupcakes with cute toppers. Then we had an activity for each type of fairy. Like light fairies, the girls made rainbows first.


Then we went outside (thank God, for the nice day!) for some messier activities. First, like water fairies, they made bubbles. Then we played pin the spot on the ladybug, like animal fairies. And finally, like garden fairies, we planted flowers in mini flower pots. Then it was back inside to be tinker fairies and "fix" broken necklaces (aka, string cereal on yarn).
 


Then it was time for cake. I think this was the first year Gianna was able to blow out her candles, that's right, it only took 5 years. Phew.


We ended the party with some bouncing. I repeat, thank God for the nice day!


Her presents from Mommy and Daddy were a big hit!
