Jillian's 4th Birthday Party


Miss Jillian celebrated her fourth birthday last Saturday!  We decided to do a rainbow/LaLaLoopsy themed party.  LaLaLoopsy is very popular around here but still don't have party favors out yet, so we decided to throw the rainbow part in.  This was one fun party to plan.  Some of the details, a rainbow made of fruit, chocolate dipped strawberries decorated with sprinkles and icing, white chocolate dipped pretzel rods covered in sprinkles, rainbow goldfish, sprinkle covered marshmallows on a stick, m&m cookies and frosted sugar cookies with sprinkles.  Did you notice a pattern?  Sprinkles and lots and lots of sugar!!  My sis and I made the balloon banner, it made the difference in the room!!


I made her cake this year!  A rainbow cake on the inside and white frosting with...you guessed it, SPRINKLES!!  Lots of sprinkles!!  I also baked rainbow mini cakes in jelly jars, topped with icing and more sprinkles!!


The kids were entertained by the pool while the adults baked in the hot 100 degree heat!  Luckily we did have 3 canopies up and 3 fans going.



I also made her rainbow tutu and the cake tutu skirt!!  That was a last minute decision!  Both turned out great!  Her shirt I ordered from the same lady that made Wyatt and Noah's first birthday shirts, she's awesome!  Here's her link if you want to check her out on Etsy!  She can do any kind of design!


Jillian really wanted a pinata, and of course I waited until the last minute to get one and our Wal-Mart decided they weren't going to carry them anymore!  Thank goodness Aunt Kimmi came to my rescue and picked one up for us!!


Another last minute decision was to make these gummy skewers.  I didn't want to do gift bags filled with crappy toys, cause lets face it, we all throw them away!  So, I found these on Pinterest, and Miss Jillian loves any type of gummies so I thought these were perfect.  And with all the different colors, they fit right into our rainbow theme!


The Birthday Girl and her Daddy!!  So sweet, I love that pic!


The present table!  Everyone took the LaLaLoopsy theme seriously!  She received not 1, not 2, but 4 LaLaLoopsy's!  She was beyond ecstatic!  She also got the LaLaLoopsy dollhouse, a Princess bike, a sno cone maker, a DS and games, Oh and lots of moolah!!


Jillian and all her LaLaLoopsy's!  

Jillian had a wonderful birthday!  We were so blessed to have all our friends and family celebrate with us!  There are so many more pics I would love to share but this post would just go on and on!!  Thanks to all who came and to my awesome sis Jo-Jo for helping, Ne Ne for watching the kids before hand, Aunt Kimmi for coming through with the pinata, Papa and Ms. Debi for helping put up tables and tents, Uncle Jay for taking lots of great pics and Mammaw Helen and Memmaw for both bringing some food!!

Great Memories!!
