Taylor's 4th Birthday Part 2

I know I know.... I finally updated the blog!

Taylor really wanted to have her birthday party at Inflation Nation, a new bounce house in Williamsburg. After a couple of months of calling and a delayed opening it finally happened. It actually worked out perfectly because they opened it early just for Tay's party. We had it all to ourselves and were the first people to experience the inflatables!!! Taylor had so much fun bouncing with her friends and LOVING being the center of attention! It was probably the first year that she really looked forward to her party and talked about it up until it happened. The kids and adults played hard until we went into the party room for pizza and cake. We don't have too many shots because we were in on the action as well but here is what we were able to capture.

She couldn't wait to get Ariel out of her cake!
Yum... pizza after all that bouncing!

Party favors... CDs, candy necklaces, and wands

This year we decided to make a CD of Taylor's favorite songs from Disney to Beyonce and give them to her guests. There were a couple of parents I had to warn about the Single Ladies track! Taylor listens to it EVERY night before she goes to bed!

Ariel Cake

I had a little Cake Boss of my own this year! Taylor was very specific about her cake. It had to be an Ariel cake and it had to be purple. I waited until she went to her room for quiet time and began decorating. The plan was to make her wearing a fluffy purple ballgown. Next thing I know Tay shows up in the kitchen and tells me that she has to have fins as well so she took off to show me a picture to copy!!! The compromise was half dress half mermaid.... whatever!! She watched me decorate the entire time giving me tips and suggestions :) Luckily she moved on to decorating cupcakes with LOTS of sprinkles!

Super excited waiting to go out the door to the party

Brady and I decided that parties out are the way to go!! It took a ton of pressure off of us, especially since he was out of town all week up until the day of the party. For the first time we were able to enjoy the party with Taylor which was so much fun! We all had a great time!
