For Leah's 4th birthday party we combined several of her favourite things...friends, gymnastics, the Cat in the Hat and food! It all came together in a fun afternoon for my fun loving girl and all of her best friends.
They started out in the gym on all the equipment and ended up singing happy birthday to Leah under the parachute...
Then upstairs for food and cake! I always make a birthday cake for each of my kids based on whatever theme they want, and with Leah's Cat in the Hat theme I decided to try out fondant for the first time...it was surprisingly easy to make and use (thank you pinterest!).
Since we are a part of the Great Green Challenge, I wanted to make Leah's party green. This means I made everything as non-disposable as possible...loot bags (insulated lunch bags with reusable snack container), tableware (regular plastic dishes for the kids, my summerware was perfect for adults), tablecloths (found some great deals for these and will store to use for future parties), serving ware (pulled out all those platters I have in the cupboard) and decorations (no balloons here, I made tissue paper decorations which will be repurposed as playroom decorations). We ended up with only the smallest bag of garbage, a few recyclables for the blue bin and we filled a compost bag for the green bin. Overall being green was much easier than I though it would be, I will defininately be doing this for all future parties.
