Dress Up for School

Dr. Seuss day

80's day-I literally put this together in the morning becuase I forgot it was era day.  Luca pulled it off

Happy 6th Birthday Luca Marie!!

When Luca was asked what she wanted this year for a birthday, she quickly said My Gym.  I have never went to a birthday party there, but Luca and daddy went for Presley's party.  Luca wouldn't stop talking about it.  I was trying to let go of control, but still managed to personalize it.  The helpers said it was the cutest party they've ever had.  We had it in Redondo Beach close to all Luca's new friends.
It was very special and everyone there cared about Luca and wished her a truly Happy Birthday.  No negative energy, just warm wishes for a perfect birthday.  
Torrance Bakery.  Chocolate inside:)


I brought in everything instead of them using the standards , which made everything unique.

This is where we put he vegetable platters and the 8 pizzas that we ordered from Papa Johns

I am in love with edible arrangements, but next time I am making it myself.  Perfect for a centerpiece and a fruit holder. Every party I have will have one:)


I made the goodie bags, but what was tricky was finding Hello Kitty boy items.  Inside included a coloring book that I binded and drew, twistable color pencils (love that for the kids), kitty pez dispenser, jump rope, swirl lolly pop, hello kitty gummie bears, tattoos (always), stickers, a kids baret bow on front (I made), a hello kitty button and the boys also had a skate deck inside.  All the parents emailed me and thanked me for the bags.  






Birthday Girl!


The party was in the middle of Lexa's nap time, so she was kind of impossible.





Party starting






This was so awesome!  Luca chose her song and they brought her out in this chariot.  She was gleaming.  The song that she wanted was Michael Jackson's Beat it.  We didn't even know they were going to do that, everything was so special. One of the instructors went to Redondo, so she knew me and I can tell she went out of her way to make it extra awesome.



Making a wish












At the end they did so many bubbles to the entire song "Let it Go" from Frozen.  Everyone was dancing and singing.  It was a  memorable moment for everyone.



Luca had a slumber party with her cousins and as you can see , the next morning they were still exhausted.
