Pioneer Birthday Party!









The plan was that this would be a "off" year for friend birthday parties. Pathetically I was weak, and gave into the pleading of a sweet seven year old little girl. After making eleven bonnets, aprons, and doll bonnets this is the result. A real authentic pioneer party, complete with candle dipping, strawberry jam making, butter shaking, and country dancing party. I hope Kate enjoyed it all. It seemed like the girls were really engaged in the activities. I couldn't believe how simple the party seemed. Originally I thought candle dipping would be a chaotic mess, it wasn't though. And thanks to my Mom, who helped the girls make the jam, it all went well without a hitch. Here are the pictures. I think this was by far my favorite party to plan. Who can resist those adorable bonnets? Most importantly I think Kate had a wonderful time! We decided to celebrate her birthday early. Her real birthday isn't until Friday. But I have a special weekend planned to Kate and I to enjoy together for both of our birthday's. Of course I'll be publishing more about all of that soon!

That's such a cute idea! Remind me to hire you as a birthday party planner when my kids are a little older :)
