Katie's 3rd Birthday

It was my friend Katie's 3rd birthday today! She's a friend that I made in our community playgroup that we still keep in touch with. Her Mom's name is Christine also and they're a super nice family! She's got a lil sis named Allie and we all have fun playing together! Her party was so much fun! It was Dora the Explorer themed party and boy did her Mommy go all out! She's a teacher so she's super creative! You'll see from the photos below.

Here I am at my 1st station where I got to make a Dora bracelet! It was pretty yellow beads with a blue flower! So nice! Katie's Grandma helped us at that 1st craft station.

Here I am at the next craft station where we made Maraca's with a couple of clear plastic cups put together and we filled them up with pretty colored beads and animals. I shook it up and made all kinds of noise. Once she taped it all together I got to decorate the outside with pretty, pretty stickers and put my name on it. This station was hosted by Katie's auntie that came to this special birthday all the way from Colorado!

They even had a huge Dora bounce house! So much fun bouncing around with all my friends!

This was the last craft station where I was pretty much on my own. It was Dora foam stickers and I made a pretty picture to bring home to Daddy since he played in a softball tournament today so couldn't join the Dora party with me! Then her Mom had a little scavenger hunt for us to find the birthday cake. It was all so neat and so creative! Before all that I did fit in some yummy pizza and all kinds of other yummy foods! Thanks for the invite and Happy Birthday Katie!
