Hi everyone.\u00a0 We thought we would share a fun post today.\u00a0 Little Miss turned four right during Hurricane Florence, but that didn’t stop us from celebrating. The down side was that our family\u00a0 was scheduled to come celebrate but couldn’t make it due to canceled flights.\u00a0 However, most of her friends live in our neighborhood, so we were still able to have a gathering.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For birthdays, Little Miss has always had the impression that they are sort of like Halloween.\u00a0 You pick a character and you embrace it. You are that character for your birthday.\u00a0 When we mention that it is someone’s birthday, she always asks what are they going to be.\u00a0 My dad has the next birthday in the family, and she still doesn’t get he is just going to be Grandpa for his birthday.\u00a0 I actually like this tradition, and it is fun to see what she comes up with.\u00a0 This summer out of the blue she told us she wanted to be a cowgirl.\u00a0 So, giddy up, and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am old school, and I love a paper invitation.\u00a0 Back in the day, one of my jobs was selling wedding invitations. I had books and books and loved working with brides looking at paper and finding their invitations for the big day.\u00a0 I always said and still think to this day invitations set the mood.\u00a0 \u00a0I got these cute invites<\/a> on Zazzle<\/a>, and since we were only inviting a few people, I was glad I didn’t have to order a ton.\u00a0 I always forget about Zazzle,<\/a> but the quality and price were great!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being a cowgirl for the birthday girl started the moment she got up.\u00a0 We had balloons and gifts downstairs waiting, and I put on Disney princess music.\u00a0 She came down, and the first thing she said was, “That’s not cowgirl music.\u00a0 Alexa, play Dixie Chicks.” LOL<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was also the first year we had friends for a party. Usually, it is just the family so I thought let’s add to this theme and have a pony come for the girls.\u00a0 Well, due to the hurricane, we had to cancel the ponies, and Plan B was formed.\u00a0 Decorate cowgirl hats and horses. and of course have birthday cake!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Little Miss wanted a pinata and has been fascinated with them since making one in Nicaragua.\u00a0 It was a great centerpiece, and it turns out the kids all wanted to do the Pinata even in the rain.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We all sang to the birthday girl and enjoyed some cake.\u00a0 Afterwards, her friends put on their boots and raincoats and headed outside for Pinata time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think Pinatas are making a come back.\u00a0 The children had so much fun, and thanks to the rain they all stayed under the porch till it was their turn or the candy started coming out.\u00a0 So, we didn’t have to worry about one child accidentally hitting another child with the stick while they were whacking the pinata.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We all had a great time, and Little Miss made sure everyone left with a cookie.\u00a0 She is already talking about what she wants to be next year for her birthday.\u00a0 I said we had Halloween first, and she informed me she wanted to be a frog.\u00a0 Ha!\u00a0 How this girl comes up with these ideas I don’t know, but I love it!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
