Flower Fairy

After weeks of planning, Haylie's birthday party turned out so cute. Since she looks like a little fairy we thought it would be fitting to do a fairy themed party to celebrate her turning 2. I gathered plants and trees from friends and family to create a fairy garden on our patio. I decorated the tables with potted flowers in the center, name tags for each child and then sprinkled pixie dust. As each child came in they received a special costume. The girls received glittery wings and the got a special shirt and an acorn hat. Each of the kids was given a special fairy lunch. The kids loved the peanut butter and jelly flowers, fruit wands and magical stars.
After eating lunch each of the kids decorated a magical wand. They wrapped sparkly pipe cleaners on the bottom of hearts, stars and twisted sparklers.
Each of the girls took turns getting a magical hair due with glitter and some fun twists to finish their outfits.
Then they danced around the yard until they needed a little pixie dust to add a little sparkle in their dance. They dipped a sweet wand into some sparkly pixie dust and they were off again to dance the day away. Haylie had lots of amazing gifts to open. She enjoyed every minute of tearing open each gift with the help of her big brother and a little help from her best friend Kaylie.
One of Haylie's favorite parts of her party was getting to blow out her candles. During the entire time we were singing Happy Birthday she was attempting to blow out her candles. Finally after we were done she gathered enough air to get the last candle out! I don't think any wish she made will come true:) Haylie and I wrapped a fairy book for each of the girls and a light up necklace for each of the boys. She also picked out rings and bracelets for each of the girls and lollipops for everyone. All of the kids really enjoyed getting to open a gift even though it wasn't their birthday.

Thanks to everyone who came. Each and every one of you made this an extra special day for Haylie. I added some more cute pics from the party. Hope you enjoy:)
