Ladybug tea party!

Kylie turned 5 this January!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was able to celebrate her birthday on 3 separate occasions. On her actual birthday (Jan 2nd) we celebrated as a family. We made birthday rolls * aka: home-made cinnamon rolls (Hoben family tradition), opened presents from G and G, aunts and uncles. I offered to cook anything she wanted for the birthday dinner, and she picked Mac-n-cheese with peas...easy enough! :D
On Monday was the first day back to Preschool and the day her classmates sang Happy Birthday to her, made a birthday book for her and had her wear a birthday crown!! How fun!!!!!!

Last but not least, we invited all the 4 and 5 year old (girls) from church to Kylie's Ladybug theme Tea party! *The book on the right is "Fancy Nancy Tea Parties" and I made it part of the decor because i used some of the ideas from the book ;)

The cake!

Happy 5th Birthday sweet Kylie!!!!!
Seven little friends (including Kylie) enjoyed the tea (pink lemonade), the dinner and of course... the cake!

Everyone decorated their own place mats and took them home in their "party favors bags".
In between all the dancing, playing, running, fingernails painting....we took some time to open presents.
The Tea Party extended into a sleepover!! This is what Kylie wanted and we were OK with it! Here are all the ladybugs in their pj's, brushing their teeth.
Sleeping bags out and we're ready to watch the new Tinkerbell movie.
OH yes! Half way through the movie, hunger struck! It was time for popcorn!

*The next morning, we enjoyed some daddy-made pancakes and a good laugh or two.
We even found time to work off some of the excess calories from the late night snacking :)
As we were waiting for parents to arrive, we played a game or two.

All in all, we think everyone had a good time and we KNOW Kylie loved her 5th birthday!

I can't believe the girls are all big enough for a sleepover! :) SO precious. Wish I could have been there snuggling in my sleeping bag. :D I love it that Brayd is on the couch, too. :D
