Birthday Party Decorations

As you know, I was off on spring break last week. When Olivia went down for her afternoon nap on Thursday and Friday, I worked on decorations for her party. It was fun to be crafty and I think the decorations turned out better than I imagined they would!

Cups and napkins

On Thursday night, my wonderful hubby helped me make a banner for Olivia. It has a picture from each month of her life on it. I know it wasn't something that Jeremiah was just dying to do, but I'm so thankful that he helped me create it. I love it!

We took these pictures at the party, but I need to take better pictures of the banner.

I've been planning Olivia's party for about a month. I wanted the theme to be "animals" because she loves playing with animals. I decided to do mostly zebra print and hot pink decorations. I didn't want to spend alot of money, but I did want to make a few decorations for the party. Anne was nice and offered to sew table runners (out of very cheap material) together for the tables. They looked awesome! Thank you, Anne!! Here are a few pictures of the tables decorated before the party started on Saturday.

I made this cake for Olivia. It looked a little dorky, but she loved eating it!
