Other Parties
Teddy Bear Parties
Ella's 1st Birthday
Elmo Party
Polly Pocket Party
Dora the Explorer Party
My Little Pony Party
Hannah's 4th Birthday Party theme was My Little Ponies.
I wanted to make a big Ponyville Village, but ended up only making 3 houses because of lack of time and, well, energy.
We added streamers down the stairwell (our construction job wasn't complete yet so I wanted to cover it up) and I painted My Little Pony pictures to go into each of the photo frames throughout the house.
I made a purple horseshoe cake topped with flowers, a mini Pony, and edible glitter.
After making the cake, I wasn't sure if I would have enough so I made these cupcakes with gumdrop flowers.

Lego Party
For Hannah's 5th Birthday Party, she decided that she wanted a Lego Party. This was a lot of fun. We kept coming up with more and more ideas for this party. I was ready for the party to be here so that I didn't keep adding more.
I started with the Lego wall a few weeks before the party. I cut out the rectangles out of construction paper and cut the circles out with my Cricut. I made the circles pop out by gluing pieces of cardboard between them and the rectangles. All-in-all, I had over 200 of these sticky-tacked to the wall. I loved how it turned out, but I might have to agree with my husband that I'm a little crazy.
We decided that one of the games would be pin the Lego head on the Lego man. I used Lego font for the kids' names and taped those onto the Lego heads that we cut out. My husband printed out giant Lego men and I traced them out with magic markers.
I cut out Lego kirigami men for the food decorations and made bowls for the little snacks out of Legos. I also made jelly Legos (although I never did get a close up shot of those).
I liked adding little Lego touches around the house. :)
For their party favors, I made little Lego coloring books using the same techniques as the Lego wall Legos and filled those with Lego themed coloring pages. I also used my Lego molds and made Lego crayons.
To top of the party favors, we put them in Lego decorated bags.
The girls helped me make the Lego bouquets. I figured that since this was a girls party, I would add in the flowers (and of course Lego pieces).
My Lego cake definitely didn't turn out how I had pictured in my mind, but the kids still liked it.
