Caroline’s Princess Party..

I’m so behind on blogging..sorry about that.

We had Caroline’s birthday party on March 31st..her actual birthday. To be honest, I like having the party on a day other than her actual birthday because then we can do something special with just us for her actual day.  well, it was fun anyway.

I’ve mentioned before, but we ended up doing a joint birthday party with her friend that is 5 days younger. It was nice doing a joint party because it was someone else to help make decisions and shop with..and it was also someone else to split the cost with. We did separate invitations because we didn’t want people to think they had to bring an extra gift for a kid they didn’t know. Everything turned out great and all the kids had a blast.

We did the playscape for her birthday, but we still got her a small gift to open when she woke up on the actual day.

Mario went out and got her a donut with pink icing and sprinkles.

We had the party at the Children’s Park in San Marcos. It’s a great location and the huge wooden playscape is awesome. We rented the gazebo and it had 4 picnic tables under it. It was a little hot and there were some pools of water from rain that we had earlier in the week, but it was a beautiful day otherwise.

We used Kimberly’s Kakery again and she didn’t disappoint!

We rented a boucy castle that had an obstacle course and slide inside..it was a big hit.

Caroline and her friend wore matching dresses..but we didn’t get many pictures of them together..they were too busy running around.
