A Winnie the Pooh Party
Our girl is 3. It's so hard to believe! But we had a great time celebrating her at the end of December, at her Winnie the Pooh party. We had lots of family and friends there to help us with the festivities and everyone had a great time, especially the birthday girl.
We started the morning with picking up the balloons that I used for the centerpieces and I'm telling you, we could have called it quits after that and she would have still had a great day. She loved the big bundle!
I ordered some Pooh decals on Amazon (can I just say how much I love Amazon?) and we put those up the night before her actual birthday and had them up for a few weeks. She loved them and I was really pleased with how much "bang" we got out them.
Here's a shot of the backyard, as people are beginning to gather. David and his family were in town for Christmas, so Ruthie had an extra dose of cousins at her party and she was super excited!
After folks arrived, we had lunch, which featured all things honey (because Pooh loves honey) - we had Honey Sesame Chicken with sticky rice, honeydew melon, veggies from Rabbit's garden and Honey Nut Cheerio balls.
We also played a great game of pin the tail on Eeyore but all those pictures ended up on Ian's phone. So you'll have to use your imagination. But be sure you image a great time, because it was awesome.
And of course we had presents. Everyone was so generous to us and to Ruthie - thank you!
Among her favorites was a "computer," which she plays with all the time. Thank you, Marshes!
And also a new car, since the hand-me-down jeep (which was 14 years old) finally bit the dust a month or so ago. Two aunts and uncles and Grandma and Grandpa pulled together to give her this adorable car, which gets lots of play from both our kids. If you look closely, you can see she's also holding the computer. Apparently, she's emailing and driving. Don't look at me - I only text and drive. =)
We ended the party with a cake per Ruthie's request - chocolate frosting with blue decorations on top. I'm not sure where she got the blue idea from, but hey, it was her day!
She was so excited about all her presents and friends and cousins that she didn't eat her cake right away; when she did, she just sat down on the cement and starting going at it. Ahh, I love this girl!
For the party favors, I did a honey pot with some Bit o' Honey candy for each person. What can I say, Pooh loves his honey!
It was a great day and I'm already excited about next year - what will it be? A tea party? A dress up party? So many choices, because she loves so many things!
