MaryJane's Pinkalicous Party

January 7th, 2012

With MaryJane having a December birthday, I decided to wait to throw her 1st friend party in January.

It was the easiest party ever.  Probably because I had most all the stuff on hand and the fact that we only invited 3 girls.  I didn't want to make it too overwhelming.  

MaryJane liked the idea of having a Pinkalicous party and decorate cupcakes. 

I love all the pink ribbon I got from the ribbon factory in D.C. (well MaryLand actually)

With Valentine's so close, I found the perfect cherry ball candy's at the store made from our local Sweet's candy factory.  With those, they looked just like the ones in the book.

Caroline, MaryJane and Eliza.  Unfortunately Clarie was sick and couldn't attend.  

Luckily Sadie was happy to fill in.

We first started the party by reading the story.

Then we decorated our cupcakes.  

MaryJane's expressions are classic!  She's having a hard time figuring out her smile these days. :)

We decorated wands like Pinkalicous has.

I found these wands at Michael's for $1.  

We played pin the candle on the cupcake.

Painted our nails pink.

And sang happy birthday.

With this small number of kids, it felt more like an easy and fun playdate. 

The party favors were their decorated cupcakes and wands.  

Nana took MaryJane out for a birthday date to Build a Bear and MaryJane insisted on sticking with her ($2 Walmart) bear and just picking out a new outfit.  

She LOVED the special day.  Thanks Nana!
