Lucy's 3rd Birthday Party was planned so that she could expend energy just dancing and running, without getting hurt. So we rented a dance studio, brought a bunch of blow-up musical instruments and balloons, and let the kids run. There was pizza, cookies, cake, etc. It actually turned out pretty nice.
Currently Lucy loves the Disney studio Ghibli movies. All of the Miyazaki movies like Ponyo, Totoro, and Spirited Away. So I made do for the theme. (Not much in the way of party favors and decor that you can buy for these cult favorites.) But we had special cookies made that were just beautiful, and I whipped up some soot sprite balloons and gift bags. Complete with a Totoro cake, I think it worked out in the end. Lucy just desperately wanted to eat a soot sprite immediately after seeing the cake for the first time.
She was a little reserved during the birthday song. She's not shy, but when all eyes are on her, I think she gets nervous. It was endearing.
I made little soot sprite balls (by gluing googly eyes on black puff balls from the craft store). Not sure what the older girls are doing here, but they must have collected them all.
All the black lips are kind of funny...almost looks a little Zombie-ish. But black fondant tastes kind of like a tootsie roll...sort of. Talk about a sugar rush.
I LOVE this picture of Lucy and Taryn!
Awesome cookies made by one talented lady! My sister's neighbor, Custom Cookies by Jill, made all of these characters for Lucy. Amazing!
Some more images of that cake...for my own sake.
Lucy got a musical card from Great Grandpa in the mail! Too fun!
