Somewhere Over The Rainbow....

We did it, we not only pulled off a rainbow party for Monkey but we survived it all too!


Why a rainbow theme you ask? Well, I was inspired by the idea of making rainbow cupcakes and it all sprang from there.


Add in a a bunch of ribbon, paper in all the colors of the rainbow,



rainbow colored snacks,

window markers and balloons and we had quite the colorful shindig.
I had so much fun making clouds to hang from our rainbow ribbons with Monkey and colorful flag banners to hang all over our house with Luke. I did my best to not go overboard but still plan the party that I had in mind.


Monkey had a ton of friends and family come to her party.It was great to have so many people, from all over, fill our home to shower love on our daughter. One thing is for sure, there is nothing like a birthday party to remind you how many people love your child.

Too bad we are in Maryland and couldn't be part of the celebration. Are you happy you went the big party route? I know you were conflicted at first.
