Since Audrey’s birthday is in August, she misses out on having her party during the school year… and is old enough to realize it now. I PROMISED her a birthday party with her class and was determined to make it work, even if it meant having it the day before Julia’s arrival. ha. To keep it manageable, we invited only the girls in her class. She has lots of friends in other classes, but I knew if I started that it would be hard to draw the line somewhere.
It was a super simple party held at a craft store. The girls made polymer clay beads and then created necklaces and bracelets out of them – right up my girl’s alley… creative and fun! I got an invitation & matching party pack off of Etsy and then just worked on a little each day until the party prep was complete.
Here are the girls working with the clay
Then they rolled it into balls and poked a hole thru each. While the clay baked, the girls sang happy birthday to Audrey and enjoyed some snacks… The candles were the only thing that did not make it inside. Oh well, we improvised!
Then there was an impromptu dance party… (I brought our iPad loaded with fun songs on it and they just couldn’t fight the grove any longer!)
It was precious!
Some of the final product ^^
A HUGE HUGE thank you to Nancy and our helper, Espy. I could not have pulled the party off without y’all! I appreciate you hauling up supplies for the party, setting up, assisting the girls and also cleaning up. THANKS SO MUCH! The party was a success because of you!
