Avery is Turning FOUR!!!!

Avery's birthday is Tuesday. She'll be 4 years old! Since Derek is getting ready to leave for 2 months we decided to have her party this morning so he could be here for it. I didn't spend a lot of time planning this party and it's been our cheapest party thus far (by a long shot) with the total for EVERYTHING (food, supplies, games, favors, etc) coming in right under $30!

Here is the party in pictures:

Birthday Girl & Party Goers
my first ever home made bows. i think they turned out pretty well. :)

The Activities
decorating their goodie bags w/ markers and Minnie Mouse stickers
pin the bow on Minnie
home made pinata -- it ended up being a little too sturdy. Like my friend, Loren, said.....built to last "Made in the USA!"
Some of the "Decor"
not much, but we did it last night so it was a surprise for Avery this morning and she was grinning from ear to ear.
The Food
mini corn dogs, popcorn, strawberries & grapes. Fruit Punch for the drinks
Opening Presents
VIDEOS

Also, a few days ago Avery got a package in the mail from Mony & Papa.........

look, no hands!
they have played with this every day.......and Avery has put the Minnie Mouse puzzle together at least 5 times. And as you can see in the pictures above and below, she has worn her skirt every day.
The grandparents sent cards that were almost exactly alike!

And somehow Miss Dottie found out Avery was having a birthday.....................
Thank you Miss Dottie, You're the best!

Avery, looks like you had a very
nice party. Mommy did a good job
on the mouse ears/bows and the cup
cakes were so cute. Did you ever get any candy out of the pinata??
