Since we took so many pictures at her party I am going to do seperate posts to break them up a little bit. We decided to have a smaller party this year at our neighborhood clubhouse. With the unpredictability of Texas weather in March we thought this would be the best option. We had have a great place indoors that was big enough to hold all the people and we were still able to go outside and play on the playground next to the clubhouse since the weather was so perfect. I did not want to put our party guests (and ourselves for that matter) through what happened last year when due to freezing temps we had to move the party location to our house and cram 60+ people inside with kids running all about with nothing to do. Having it at the clubhouse was a lot less stressful but the preparation the morning of was a little crazy. Mikey and I totally underestimated the time and manpower it would take to get everything lugged to the clubhouse and get it all set up in time. It didn't help that the key they gave us to get in the clubhouse didnt work and so for about 15-20 minutes we were trying to figure out how to get in. We finally made it in to set up but we definitely ran out of time and I was running out the clubhouse door at 9:45 delegating tasks to friends and family that were already showing up so that I could get home, change, and get Ava dressed and ready to go by 10. All in all everything turned out great thanks to a little help from some friends and family to pull it all together.
the food table
Since her party was a farm theme we carried that on for the food. We had "Little Chicks" /Chick-fila nuggets
"Little Piggies"/Pigs in a blanket
"Ava's Garden"/veggie tray
"Chicken Feed"/Chex Mix
and Watermelon
The Birthday Banner
The absolutely amazing cake that my aunt made that perfectly matched the invitation.
(I also made some mini cheery cheesecakes but didn't get a picture of them)
The party favors (barns from the dollar spot at Target with a few goodies inside)
Table Decorations

Vaughanie, you did it! What a precious theme, executed so wonderfully! And oh my gosh, that may be the cutest cake I have ever seen! I mean, I knew she was talented and all, but that is over the top! You did so well with the banner and all of the ways that the food was so cutely named and displayed, I am so impressed with you! And yes, those barns are the deal of the year, you are sooooo good at finding the cutest things at the best prices, wish I had that trait! Can't wait to see more!
