LILY'S BUTTERFLY PARTY AT PAINTED PIG

Yesterday Lily turned six, and today we celebrated with a party just for our girl.  She originally wanted a "Bug Squad" party, like Halloween.  However, in my great wisdom, I was going for something a little more simple and narrowed her down to butterflies.  Also, we hosted the party not at our house.  That made life a lot easier this weekend and was a great change of birthday pace, especially after our wild holiday season.

After a quick search on Etsy, I concluded that I could pretty easily design something I would like with my Silhouette software.  I love that thing.

The party was at The Painted Pig (a ceramic painting place) - after seeing this friend's post, I realized it might be a great fit for us.  And it was!  The girls all had a great time, and I am looking forward to seeing the butterfly tiles that each girl painted.  Lily and Bella were very excited to help set everything up.

I honest to goodness kept things much simpler for this party.  We had cheese and butterfly crackers, fresh fruit, water, cake and candy.

The painting went pretty quickly, because the girls were almost all 6 and under.  But - they really enjoyed themselves!  Lily got to pick the colors, and the staff had pre-drawn butterflies onto each tile, which was really helpful.

Family from both in town and out of town were there to celebrate and help make it a special occasion.

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Lily and enjoyed the light snacks and cake.  The girls ended up having a great time adding jelly beans to their water and drinking the concoction.  It is so funny to see what entertains six year olds.

After all the eating and painting and playing, it was time to wish everyone farewell and send them on their way with a cookie!

It was such a fun group of girls to celebrate with!




We certainly love our Lily!
