Hope's Brithday
Last Sunday we celebrated our daughter's 4th birthday! It was sooooo much fun! I must say that initially I wanted to take over and go with my own theme and decor, but my husband insisted it be all about her
and not 'over the top'. OK.... That meant Dora the Explorer.... I put our intern, Betsy, in charge. She and Stephanie came up with a scavenger hunt complete with The Map. Betsy found lots of awesome party favors, which were given out at each challenge. Event Associate, Ashley, painted faces, and Stephanie applied tattoos! I made Dora's 'Backpack' for all the kids to keep their loot! Of course the adventure would not have been complete without Swiper!
We kept it simple and decided to go fiesta with the decor! I chose brightly colored linens, gerber daisies, and hot peppers for the table. Dora's bracelet (with lip gloss, of course) served as napkin rings. I was overjoyed when my girl proclaimed everything BEAUTIFUL and gave me her patented 'double-hand-to-mouth' gasp when she saw her "Princess" chair! The menu consisted of a taco bar with taquitos, quesadillas, and chips w/salsa. The celebration was made complete with yummy cupcakes from Mayra Rivera.
We wrapped it up with a ride on Cowshire (Hope named him) her FurReal pony from Santa, dressed as a donkey.
The girls (and guy) had a blast and so did we!
