Lottie's 4th Birthday Party

For the past three years, I have thrown Lottie a birthday party at our house.  With her getting older and wanting to invite all of her friends from school, I thought something away from the house would be best this year.  Not to mention with all the construction going on, it would have been impossible to do anything at our house anyways.

Lottie loves art!  She loves to paint, draw, do crafts, etc.  With that in mind, I thought the perfect little party would be an artsy one.  We had her party at Noah's Art in Blakeney.  It is a cute little studio and all the kids had the place to themselves.  Lottie chose to do Frozen themed arts and crafts.  They played the Frozen soundtrack in the background and upon arrival, they gave all the kids painted tattoos on their hands.  They then invited them to a separate play area to play while waiting on all of the kids to arrive.  Once all of the kids arrived, they sat them down and talked about what crafts they would be doing for the day.

They did a total of four crafts.  The first craft they did was design their own crowns.  Of course my children did not want to wear them.  Lottie refused stating she just wanted to wear her headband.  The next craft was a beaded snowflake.  Then, they painted a Frozen picture and finally painted/colored/designed a wand.

All in all, the kids seemed to have a great time!  Lottie thanked me a million times for her party which made it all worth it.  She is such a great kid.  You couldn't ask for a more sweet, funny child.

Prepare for photo overload!  Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to collage the photos as not to overwhelm you!  :)

Lottie dressed herself and insisted on wearing this dress paired with silver moon boots!  :)

My girls!  Lottie writing her name - making claims on that crown!

Pretty sure Stella stuffed a handful of beads in her mouth!  That was fun!  Note to self - she is still too young to have anything to do with beads!  Banned!

Lottie's Birthday Cake - Frozen

I ended up getting her cake at Publix.  It was delicious!

Funny story...............

Stella is a beast!  After eating her own piece of cake, she continued to slide down the table and eat whatever cake was left on the plate from the other kids who had already gotten up from the table.  After we caught her, we all died laughing.  She didn't care one bit, she just continued stuffing her face with whatever cake she could find on the table!

These two.................  I could eat them up!

They wrapped up the party by giving Lottie a big hug!  Too cute not to catch on video!  See above!

Following the party at Noah's Art, we had more family and friends come over to our house for pizza. 

Lottie got to blow out candles for the THIRD time that week!

The following day Lottie and Steve played with the present he got for her.  It is a scalextric race car track.  Pretty cool.  They played on it for hours.  I secretly think Steve bought this gift for himself!  

We also had an English tea party.  We all sat around drinking cups of tea and eating tea sandwiches and cake!  The girls loved it.

All in all, it was a great weekend!  I still can't believe my girl is 4!!!!!!!!!!  We love you so much Lottie!  I can't wait to watch you grow throughout this next year!
