We threw the party at the construction site- which put a lot of added pressure on Steve (sorry!)... so he was putting in 16 hour days painting, cleaning, putting in kitchen cabinets... (THANK YOU!) to get ready for the event.
I decided on a red/pink theme with punches of color... here are their little treat bags.
We hung these pom poms from string in the great hall-- I got them at Walmart and LOVE them. I want to use them again... maybe in our bedroom? JK.
For the party, we made stations- 1) playdough, 2) fingerpainting, 3) playing with rice and 4) building with blocks... I think it was a great idea (which I stole), and I think it kept them occupied!!
The guests..
Playing with the playdough.
So cute!
Maddie has never fingerpainted before, but I think she REALLY likes it.
My great friend- the cake maker extraordinaire made Maddie her cake. I LOVED it. I have a fascination/obsession over pigs... little piglets especially.
I was thinking about getting little milk cartons for the kids, but I'm glad I settled on Juicy Juice... there was no mess, and I think they really liked the straws...
Here's the cake!!!
In all it's glory!!! YAY! Isn't it amazing?
Too bad it went so fast :( But- they really enjoyed it!!!
You just can't have a party without a pinata. They are sooooo fun.
Loved the colors of the candy when they came out! But- I probably shouldn't have bought a pack with jaw breakers? Oops. 
Maddie is definitely a foodie- of chocolate especially. While the party was ending, she sat herself down by herself in front of the cake and devoured what she could!
We had so much fun! 
I think she had a great time!!!

I just showed Andrew the pics of Maddie and her cake and he got all excited. We are so sad that we were out of town and missed such a spectacular event. You throw such fun parties!! Happy birthday Maddie!
It was so cute and the kids had a really good time! I love that. I love that Maddie just wanted to hang out with the cake--that's my kind of girl. I look horrible in some of those pictures--note to self--never wear those pants again, and never allow candid photos. But Maddie's party is not about me, right. . .
P.S. The house looks AMAZING!

Aww...I love the last few pics. The one of the three of you is super cute!
That pig cake was to die for!
What a fun party! My kids had a blast and were so sad when I had to drag them away. Your house is amazing-- Maddie needs to spend a lot of time at our house so you can move in!
