Don’t you just love birthdays? I feel like everyone in my life is having a birthday today or just had one.

We have one special little guy in our family that we have been celebrating.

Jad turns two April 2nd.

This week I am going to post a few birthday parties we have had shared together but I have never blogged about.

When Ella turned 3 she had a movie under the stars-Princess Party

The invitations (picture I used)

Cookies made by my friend Becca

Friends came in their royal attire

I used princess bath toys for decoration. The frames were from Michaels dollar bins

There were dream come true cupcakes (made by me)

I got the frame at Hobby Lobby. The frame had a print hanging in Ella’s room. I made a 8×10 print with card stock and a princess 3-D sticker for a table decoration.

The cupcake toppers I got from TheBirthdayHouse

She has princesses and princes

My favorite quote of the evening was “Mom, can we do it all over again tomorrow.”

Friends ate cupcakes.

Each guest decorated their drive-in car. The boys decorated their cars with trains, planes, and car stickers. The girls used princess stickers of course.

The wheels were blue and pink plates from the Dollar Store.

Our cousin Brooklyn painted faces. 

A dress-up station

When it was time for the movie-I had a wagon with sheets

The movie Tangled was shown. 

Then we launched lanterns into the sky. Well we launched 2. One was perfect. The other almost caused a neighborhood fire. It came down in flames.

We stopped after that one. One was magical though.

Brantley watched the movie the entire time from the computer. He was my techie and made sure everyone could hear. 

There were glow swords and glow wands for friends as party favors

It was a fun birthday under the stars.
