Celebrating Elsie's 3rd Birthday!

Elsie celebrated her 3rd birthday with family and a couple of friends. This time, Jennifer's uncle and his girlfriend came, as well as, Wayne's cousins. We had a fairy themed party and everyone was welcomed by this sign on our front door.
You can barely see the sign way up above Elsie's head. The outfit she is wearing is from Gymboree and it was my inspiration for the fairy them.

I love the little wings on her back!

I made pom pom's (also known as Fairy Dust) to hang all over the house. It was like Christmas for the kids when they woke up to these! Lunch was simple and easy. Pinwheel sandwiches from Costco, crockpot meatballs, pre-made frozen chicken wings, salad and fruit.

Elsie requested chocolate cupcakes and I just embellished them with fairy dust (pearl sprinkles), cupcake toppers and cupcake wrappers that I made on my die cut machine.
A strawberry tower that the kids all loved. Something about being able to *pick* your own strawberries is so whimsical for 3 year olds.
Butterfly's, like the one you see on the sandwich platter could be found in various places around the house. Including on the bathroom mirror.

We played a game of Fairy, Fairy, Troll. Which is the same thing as Duck, Duck, Goose.


Elsie could not wait to open her presents and she was not disappointed! Last year she was all about the clothes, but this year, they just got tossed aside and she was all about the toys. She received LOTS of dress up clothes that included jewelry, shoes, tiaras, and princess/fairy dresses.


Isn't she a doll!

Elsie became very quiet and shy when it came time to blow out her candle, but that is okay, because she had lots of help from Mason and Seth.
One last picture of the very tired birthday girl eating her cupcake with her fancy scarf around her neck.
