Grandma tried to distract Henry with a rousing game of Busy, Busy Airport, but once the girls got to playing with the balloons, he was ready to have fun with them, too!
I made each of the girls a tutu to wear as the party favor. I wasn't happy with the tulle that I chose though: it had sparkles in it and it was too stiff/clingy. The girls had fun wearing them though!
Normally nothing is allowed to go over the edge (if it does, it get thrown away or donated. This has been a good rule so far!) but we do let the balloons go over since no one below will get hurt by a balloon.
Waiting to catch the balloons.
Anna wanted to serve Dutch Baby at her party, so we had all of our favorite toppings out (lemon curd, powdered sugar, & jam).
These little flowers were so cute but the cats knocked over the vase later in the day and it has stained the dining room table. I just can't seem to get the red out of the light-colored wood.
Pink lemonade cake with ballet slippers for a cake topper.
Pin the slipper on the ballerina.
Confetti. We should have done it inside and with smaller confetti. The big confetti was really hard to gather up and clean!
Wow! They really caught Grandma by surprise!

Henry worked really hard to get all of the balloons in the shower!
Anna's party was a lot of fun for everyone! I am glad she decided to wait for her friend to feel better so she could be there, too. Almost the instant it was over, Sarah started to get excited for her birthday party in May!
