Little Ladybug's Journey: Emily's Birthday Party

Pretty in Red is right!!

Yesterday was Emily's 6th birthday party with her closest friends. She made the guest list herself a few weeks ago, and all of the friends that she invited were able to make it! Fun was most certainly had by all, little ones and adults alike.

Her theme was Olivia the Pig from the books and TV show Olivia. Emily loves these books, as well as having over 40 episodes saved on our DVR to watch! She thinks Olivia has a great imagination and she adores Olivia's baby brother William. For those of you that don't know or have never seen the show, Olivia LOVES the color red, so we went with that for the party theme as well. Olivia the Pig always wears red and white striped tights, so you will notice Emily's outfit!! TOO CUTE! Also, Olivia always has a "Rule of Life" to quote on each episode, so we had to have a few at the party!

All of the kids played in Emily's play room while we waited for all the guests to arrive. So much fun, laughter, giggles, hugs, and kisses were happening, it was a glorious sight. As soon as everyone arrived, the PARTY got under way!

All of Emily's friends had a great time painting their own piggy banks, and also receiving six cents in their new banks in honor of Emily's 6th birthday! After they all painted, Emily enjoyed opening her gifts and loved all of them. When present time was over, it was time for each guest and Emily to decorate their own individual cakes. We had frosting, sprinkles, candy, etc. As usual, eyes were bigger than their wee tummies, but they had fun decorating their own cakes.

All during the party, the guests (parents and kiddos) were able to help themselves to the different kinds of RED candy all around the house, to help themselves to red fruit punch or to Emily's special birthday bottled water (see pictures)...THANK YOU Janet for the COOL labels!

After cake and singing Happy Birthday, the parents all visited while the kids just had fun playing in Emily's play room, as you will be able to see in the photos.

As each party guest was leaving, Emily used her words to say "Thank you for coming to my party" and gave them each their party goodies, of course all RED items in a RED tub! After all the partying was over and JuJu and Mommy had cleaned up, it was time to relax and watch a movie. The day finally caught up to Miss Emily as she crawled inside her Princess sleeping bag and fell asleep on the floor.

All in all it was a splendid party that was a huge success, and Emily LOVES having her friends come over and play! Thank you to all who helped her to have a GRAND 6th birthday party!

I have also included a few pictures from the day before her party with her friend Kylie and Grandma Judi and their gifts as well!

Enjoy,
