Jordan's Olivia Party

Jordan's party day was finally here! We decided on an Olivia Art Party because she loves Olivia and art. Honestly, we could have done a few different themes, but I think this is the last year she will love Olivia. Pintrest was great for some ideas, but I really tried to make this party my own for other things. The decor was simple using mostly black an red...not too much of the Olivia themed stuff.

We did a "Create you Own Pasta Bar" for the food. It was a hit. Three different kinds of pasta, three sauces, chicken, meatballs, sun-dried tomatoes, and lots of cheeses.

There was a simple candy bar for everyone to snack on, but with so many other things for the guests to take home, I didn't go all out!

Carrie made yet another fabulous cake! It was perfect and I had fun adding the toppers.

This was my favorite activity. We did a photo booth (which really was wallpaper on our garage wall). I made a few different signs, all the guests had pig noses and ears, some boas, and a frame. Our photographer snapped all the pictures of the guests (which I will send out as thank yous) This party was one of my favorites. The kids loved painting their own canvases, creating sand art, playing with play dough, making jewelry, and coloring Olivia books. All but two of our friends made the party, so we had a packed house, yet the art made the kids so calm.

I just had to post this! Jordan was maxed out by the end of the party...posing for one last group picture after being in the photo booth and pulled away from her painting did her in. This will always be quoted as the "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" picture!
