On a recent post, I shared this photo of the Grand Girl and the PINK Hello Kitty umbrella we gave her on her actual birthday.
Like most little (and big) girls, she's a huge fan of this feline! It was no surprise that she selected Hello Kitty as the theme of her birthday party, held a few days later!
My DIL had the greatest activities planned for the party goers. Among them was a "Pin the Bow on Hello Kitty" game, but first, the children had to decorate their paper bows and cut them out!!
The Birthday Princess was the first to take a crack at getting the bow positioned on the right spot.... Hello Kitty's left ear!
A quick hand over her PINK blindfold to make sure there was no peeking! ;-) Hmmmm........
The Party Princess was given so many wonderful presents. It's always fun to see how everyone gathers closely to check out the loot!!
There were lots of yummy cuppy cakes waiting for. . .
the girls to decorate!
They really enjoyed this project. . . and they did a mighty fine job, too!!
While the party goers enjoyed eating their decorated cuppy cakes, the Grand Boy savored every little nibble of his!!
Before I finish, I just had to show you the gift we gave her at the birthday party!
Isn't that just the sweetest picture. . . check out her toes on her right foot!!! :) Ya gotta love it...I know I do! Of course I do. . . I love everything about that child!! :)
Oh, and I also wanted to share this picture our son took to show us how that Hello Kitty umbrella was put to use!!!
Nothing like keeping dry when playing in the water!! :-)
Well, that's my contribution of PINKNESS this week.
I have tried to resist the urge, but ever since looking at all of those birthday party cuppy cake pictures, I just HAD to dig into my stash!!!
YUUUUUUUUUMMMM.....they are great for breakfast. Coffee and cream filled PINK cuppy cakes....what a delightful treat!!
Speaking of "delightful treats". . . you must head on over to Beverly's blog, HOW SWEET THE SOUND, where you will be treated to a whole lot of PINKS other bloggers have ready to share with you today!!
HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!
DANA

Have a great weekend!

Bet the kids had a blast Dana! Love all of the activities and the umbrella in the sprinklers is fun! Have a great weekend:@)

Dana, I always realize half through reading your comment, that I have the silliest grin on my face! LOL....I love her outfit and the flip flops on the wrong toes...too funny. Looks like they had a grand party! My grand-girl had her party last week too. Last year they sent out all these invites and not too many came and just as many didn't respond which was a shame since it was a specialty tea party. This year they sent out 20 something and every single person came and then some. My son and d-i-l were overwhelmed. LOL
Anyway, Loved your post as always and yep, I plan on showing my cupcake wrappers later in the season. They turned out so cute and I saved over $100.00. Have a wonderful weekend Dana. xoxo

I always loved the birthday parties when mine were at that age!
Your little cupcake is a cutie and you know she had the "bestest" birthday!

How sweet - I hardly ever see kids playing in the sprinkler anymore. Don't you think it's great they're learning to enjoy simple pleasures? And her party was the sweetest and you just never outgrow Hello Kitty! Aren't we lucky to have such adorably perfect grandchildren?!! I'm always amazed at how big she's getting and I've watched her grow up right here on your blog.
haha - I had to read Lynn's comment to figure out what the heck you were talking about her feet! Didn't slow her down one bit!
Rain? Yes Please...I'll take 5 inches! xoxo Nancy

Darling Fifth Birthay Event. Pinkness all around. Those scooters are so fun, my granddaughter loves hers. I had a big chuckle seeing the pink umbrella when using the sprinkler. So cute.

Hi Dana, what a darling birthday party. I love there were activities for the children to participate in. I'm sure it made the party even more special. I loved the scooter shot with the flip flops on the right foot.. and the umbrella being put to good use was darling.
We just had heavy rains move through, now I guess they're saying hot and humid.. you can always tell when the 4th is around the corner. hugs ~lynne~

Happy Pink Saturday Dana Sweetie...
Oh your sweet girl is growing up so fast, even the little Grandson has grown quickly.
My how time flies when we are having fun, doesn't it?
What wonderful ideas for the Hello Kitty party. I love that they colored the bows
for the Pin the bow on Hello Kitty. That was fun, and how wonderful to allow them
to decorate their own cupcakes. I bet there were some fun mixtures for sure. Kids
love doing those type of things. Wonderful activities.
Sure do adore that Hello Kitty scooter. I haven't seen that one. Perfect for the
birthday girl, and what better use of that umbrella, than in the sprinkler. Looks
like she has a wonderful celebration and SO much fun. Love that smile.
Know I have to tell you, I have been looking for those pink cuppies since you first
shared and have not seen a one out here in Phoenix. They look so delightful and fun.
I can see that Stone Rabbit is still loving them as well.
Have a glorious Pink Saturday sweetie and a wonderful weekend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

Hi Dana...OMGosh what a fun PINK PARTY and just in time to share on Pink Saturday. It was a Cooling Off Treat from the Triple Digit Heat Wave we've had here in TEXAS. Thanks for stopping by CITexas Gal and viewing my ETSY SHOP Patriotic Fabrics. You are IN for the Address Book GiveAway. Happy Pink Saturday!!!!

Hi Dana, we are back from eating out. I posted a comment on your Summer day post. I don't know why but the service is good right now. This party is adorable just like your grands. The birthday girl had a wonderful time without a doubt. The bows were a great idea and they all turned out so cute. I guess no one put their bow in the right place. I know they had fun trying. Decorating their own cupcakes was a fun idea and I will pass that on to my sister. Her granddaughter turned 8 today. I am still laughing at her thong between the wrong toes. You would think it might feel uncomfortable. HA! The scooter is so cute. I remember some posted about 'Hello Kitty' a year or so ago and I didn't know who it was. I do now.
Beverly just told me you sent her a box of the Pink Hostess Cupcakes. She was so tickled. AND the pink Stone Rabbit pens. Right now I am thinking, where did I put those? Don't hate me, I can be a real rattlebrain on occasion. HA! She is our computer tech and I appreciate her too. She deserves something special.
Happy Pink Saturday my dear friend,
Love, Jeanne

What a fun party for your granddaughter. Truly a pink delight!
Posted by: Kaye Swain | June 25, 2011 at 07:56 PM
Happy Pink Saturday, Dana. Guess what I got in the mail?!!! Now I can have coffee and pink cuppy cakes with you. These delicious morsels are treasures.♥ I am savoring every bite. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Does this make me an official "pink cuppy cake girl"?
Your little grand girl has grown up so much, but I can hardly believe she is already five years old. I would have liked to be at that fun party. And, I can even imagine the fun of having my very own pink scooter.

A perfectly grand pink birthday party for a darling little girl.

Posted by: Dixie | June 27, 2011 at 02:26 PM
Happy Birthday to the GrandGIrl! How fun. I am taking mental notes on what to do at future Bebe Birthday Parties! I like the decorate the bows first as well as the blank white cupcakes for decorating! Must write this stuff down. . . you should write your own book and give tips/ideas. You would be great at it!
