Lizzy's Birthday Party

Last week I had a birthday party for Lizzy's fourth birthday. I can't believe I have a four year old! It was the first party I have done that wasn't a family party so that was quite interesting. She wanted to invite a lot more kids, but with our tiny house and a bunch of four year olds, I decided that six was enough. I will just have to say I am glad it is over and that Lizzy had so much fun, and that I don't have to do it again for a while. I think maybe every other year or so I will do a friend party. The funny thing was she wanted a Hello Kitty party, but besides her cousin Brinlee all she wanted to invite were boys, so we had to alter it a bit.

The Birthday Princess, there was so much going on that I never could get a good picture of her with her crown on, she was way too distracted.

I thought the kids would love to play bingo, I did it for a primary activity and the kids just loved it, but not so much this time, after playing a couple of times through the kids said, "I don't like this can we be done." Great this was about the only thing I had planned. I did get a bunch of balloons filled with helium and that was a huge hit. I had no idea that kids this age still liked balloons so much.

They actually had a lot more fun playing duck duck goose.

Lizzy enjoyed giving hugs for all of her presents, and man did she LOVE her presents, She got lots of barbies and princess stuff and dress ups, everything she loves.





Here is the purse cake that she had been asking for, for about the last nine months. There was one of the shaped pans that was a purse, but I was being cheap and didn't want to spend the money to buy it, so I found this one on bettycrocker.com and it looked pretty easy to make, but it was a lot harder then I anticipated. It kept falling over when I was trying to frost it and because it was standing up it was really hard to frost, but it turned out okay. Lizzy loved it so that is all that matters.

I just can't believe that my little Lizzy is four! Oh how fast time does fly. Sometimes I get a little sad to think that her being a baby is over and done, but she is such a fun little girl that I guess that is okay, besides she is the sweetest big sister to Nellie and I can't wait to see her with Jane.
