Motherhood Bliss: Happy Birthday Dani!

Happy Birthday to Dani!!!

Since Dani lives with us here in Zachary now we had the pleasure of planning and throwing her actual birthday party!!!

We began the planning a few months ago and decided to have the party at a local art studio in Zachary called "Joie Petite". She wanted to do a "Paint and Pour" class and she wanted the theme of her party to be peacocks.....

So we kicked off the peacock party right with some very beautiful invitations, complete with the selected party colors of teal, lime green and purple.

And the big day got here before we knew it.....

Mrs. Joy, the owner of the art studio, painted Dani this nice apron and all of her friends signed it as a birthday gift....

Mrs. Joy created this awesome painting of a peacock specifically for Dani's birthday party....

The cake is courtesy of Kristy Bellot cakes. She did an awesome job!! It was a white cake with strawberries and whip cream filling...YUM!

Dani and I jazzed up some cute cups for all of the girls attending to party to have something fun to drink out of while painting their canvases....

And then it was time to PAINT!!

First step, picking out the background color for the canvas....

And then of course they all had to sit at the same table, so they all squished in and let the painting begin!!

These crazy girls were a hoot to listen to chat about anything and everything!! They had a great time being goofy and painting together.....

We had some visitors pop in for the pizza, cake and present opening....

(Don't mind Brooks large bump on his head, he shared a little kiss with the concrete right before he arrived!!)

Birthday Girl!!

They took a little break to let their paintings dry and it was time for PIZZA!!

They quickly returned to finish up some details on the paintings....

And then took another short break to sing Happy Birthday, eat the cake, and open presents!!

She got a lot of money, gift cards, a new bike (from DD & Grandpere), a puppy (from Daddy & Abby) and 3 necklaces. I would say that's a great party!!!

Almost done....

Group shot of the final pieces of art!!!! Great party girls.....

A couple more shots of the birthday girl!!

After the party, we let her invite a couple of friends over to spend the night and campout in the backyard. No, I wasn't brave enough to have all 7 girls sleep over!!!
