happy birthday, princess olivia!

Last Saturday we celebrated Olivia's 3rd birthday  

with a Woodland Fairy Princess party.

The menu included:

Tomato/Mozzarella "Toadstool" Appetizers

Chips and Dip

"Butterfly" Sandwiches

Mimi's Potato Salad

GG's Peanut Butter Squares

Auntie Crystal's Fruit Wands

Mama's Rice Krispie Wands

"Fairy Berry Juice"

Gramma's Funfetti Fairy Cake 

and Fairy Cupcakes (Liv helped decorate!)

& Neopolitan Ice Cream

oh, and Pixie Stix. :)

Aunt Mary Jane brought pink sugar cookies with sprinkles too.

The party was lots of fun and Olivia received many wonderful gifts from
her royal family and friends.  They, of course, were fit for a queen princess! 
Every time I see her she's wearing a different ensemble.
I think she had three costume changes at the party! :)
And everyone, I mean everyone, enjoyed the fairy wings! teehee!

Happy Birthday, sweet girl! 

You will always be a princess to "Biddy" and me.

fairie tale

My granddaughter, Olivia, believes she is a princess...(and indeed, so do I!)

She adores wearing princess dresses and princess shoes

and, of course, a crown!

So, while enjoying some time by the campfire awhile back,

 

I made this fairy princess crown.

 

Now she keeps asking for wings! :)

  So her mom and I are planning a fairy princess birthday party in November.

Olivia doesn't know I already picked up several pairs of wings at the dollar store the other day.

("Gotta get 'em while the gettin's good," my Mom would say! )

Olivia's mom knows I love to plan a party with a fun theme; so she indulges me.

Oh, it's going to be so much fun!

Do you have a childhood birthday party that you remember as your favorite?
