Sanaris & Natalie's Birthday Party

We decided to have 2 birthday parties wrapped up into one and it was a complete success. My cousin's daughter, Natalie, who was turning 6 years old did not know she would be having a surprise birthday party along with my daughter, Sani, who was turning 3.

Natalie had a My Little Pony themed birthday party, meanwhile Sani had a Minnie and Daisy's Bowtique birthday (she prefers Daisy best).

The picture below is of Sanaris wearing the outfit that I made for her, along with the hair bows that her aunt made for her. She owns ABelle's Bowtique, check it out by visiting here.

This is my Sani with her "greenma" as she likes to call her (grandma, my mom). 

This is the cake that my husband, my sister and I made for our little darling.

You can't possibly imagine how hot it was that day. So much that the cake was butter cream and it MELTED! What a disaster, but it was eaten and loved regardless. I will stick to my usual fondant next time.

 See the cake all melted? Haha, oh well. We added some sparklers for pure fun, especially since her birthday is in July. She loved it!

 It's tough to have to choose which cupcake you want to eat.

 ...and it looks like we have a winner! Pink bow beats the purple bow.

Since Natalie's birthday party was of My Little Pony, we had pony rides for the kids. Isn't this picture the cutest? Funny thing is he's really a male.

Here is a picture of both of the birthday girls enjoying their pony ride.

 Cutting Natalie's birthday cake. She's a big girl now...a whole 6 years!

 Here are all of the kids gathered together to take their picture.

The best part of all is that at the end of the day, the kids were exhausted and they came home for showers and off to bed they went! Truth is...I showered and went to bed also, I was exhausted!

The End! :)

Birthday Outfit

The romper is now complete... It's all of Daisy Duck's colors.

She is such a little model! She created all of her own poses. haha

Birthday Preparations

My Sani is going to be 3 years old on July 2nd. We are planning a birthday party for her and we're really excited to begin our preparations. 

I was thinking more along the lines of princess theme, but since she has a mind of her own she decided that she wanted her birthday party to be of Daisy Duck.The whole theme colors will be pink, white, and purple.

While looking around Etsy and Pinterest I found a few inspirational ideas for her party.

We're thinking of having some cupcakes to avoid the mess of actually cutting a cake with some pretty little bows to match the Daisy Bowtique theme.

We also liked this cake (the 2nd tier) but something a little smaller and personal just for taking pictures of her blowing out her candles.

I went to Wal-Mart and found some pink and purple ribbon to match the theme ... and now I am so excited because I want to see if I can sew her a little outfit for her special day.

Then it hit me...I came across this website, Sew Like My Mom, and found an outfit I want to make her. Not sure if I ever expressed my LOVE for rompers. Well if I haven't, then let me tell you that during the summer I am in LOVE with rompers. I think they are so cute, comfortable and help you stay very cool. Since Sani's birthday is in the summer and we're going with the whole bowtique theme, I was thinking of some type of bedazzled romper with long stranded pearls like the one on Sew Like My Mom's blog.

Isn't she just adorable? Not to mention her little outfit and pearls. 

What would go better with this romper than a pair of matching sandals like these?
