Anna decided long ago that this year was to be a Tinkerbell party. We like to have our parties outside. The forecast was for showers so we crossed our fingers and hoped we wouldn't be rained out. In the end, it rained all night and few sprinkles during the morning. And while it was quite overcast and cool, not a drop ruined our fun!
First, we blew some bubbles while we waited for everyone to arrive.
Next we played a fun Bug Toss game. I fashioned a flower cut-out of cardboard and drew bug faces on plastic easter eggs. The kids lined up and took turns tossing the bugs through the flower. With me wrangling four-year-olds and Spencer holding the baby, we didn't get any pictures.
Bubbles and bug tossing sure work up an appetite so we took a lunch break of PB&J sandwiches, carrots, cucumbers, grapes and lemonade.
After lunch we had a fun fairy treasure hunt. I planted cute fairies with clues attached around the yard.
We dashed around from the front yard to the back, following clues and finding fairies until finally we found our treasure!
Then it was cake time!
It was a bit windy so the candles didn't stay lit for long. But the cake still looked cute and as you can see below by the kids devouring it, it was delicious!
Finally, we headed inside to open presents. We had each guest come sit next to Anna while she opened the present they brought her.

Her twin brothers also joined us but I only managed to get a snippet of one in the picture.

His twin unfortunately broke his leg at the preschool swim party and couldn't make it!
John...who preferred to stand, so I accidentally cut off his head.
Her friends know her so well and loaded her up with lots of girly princess dolls, beads and Tinkerbell paraphenalia. She loved every bit of it!
Although it had it's crazy moments, it was a great party and we were thankful the rain let up. And everyone had a FAIRY fun time!

What fun!! I kept telling the kids to remind me that we need to call Anna and wish her a happy birthday but when we remembered it was 11:00 at night, your time. We were sad we missed calling. Glad she had a great party and lots of fun. Can't wait to see you soon!
Cute! Looks like a great party! Looking forward to your visit!
It's still hard to believe she's four years old already! I'm glad the weather held for her party. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time.
Erin, I can't believe Anna is 4! You are a great mom for making such a fun party!!
