The Lorax Birthday Party – Highlights!

I can’t believe it, our little girl is 4! We had her birthday party this eekend, and the theme was “the Lorax” by Dr Seuss.  Getting it all together was a bit challenging since I worked 10-12 hour days for 12 days straight up until the da before the party, and was out of town for the 11 days before that for the holidays.  So I tried to do as much planning in early december as possible, and have been staying up until 1-2am every night these last 2 weeks to get things ready!  Of course, it would’t have been possible without the help of my husband, parents and in-laws who helped carry out my unencesarily involved plans!

Anyways, I wanted to get a few pictures u to share with family, but I’l l do  a big post soon with tons free down loads with all the printables that i created for the party, and with more details about what I did!  Very much like my Elmo party page!

So here is the fornt of the house.  Just a simple banner out front, a couple of “truffula trees” and a welcome sign.

Some fun ruffled, multicolored streamers (tutorial on http://www.dana-made-it.com).

The wonderfully yummy and beautiful cupcakes from Velvet Sky Bakery neary by our neightborhood!

Plus the amazing cake decorated by the Baskin Robbins near us!

I baked cookies right as people were coming to make the house smell yummy…

Tried to keep some healthy options available.

Homemade sign…still up =)
My truffle pop forest centerpiece. This was one of my favorite decoration items.

The “place settings.” All paper (which is recyclable!) except for the utensils.

I think someone liked it!

This was one of my favorite items.  I fell in love with these mason jars and their lids, especially when used with a fun paper straw!

Of course, we ended the night with a jam session with all the kiddos.  It was quite a site to see!
