Finally getting to follow up with the details from my blog on Sunday about the decorations for Bitty’s party!
This weekend was our daughter’s 2nd birthday. I had so much fun planning this party, especially since she simply loves everything wizard of oz!“Follow the yellow brick road”
Toto in the hot air balloon (ignore our incredibly dry Texas grass)
of course all of our guest still rang the bell…
I was thrilled to stumble upon this cute little take on of “A Chrismas Story” wicked witch lamp at a local store.
“Lions, Tigers, & Bears…oh my!” Animal cracker goodie bags
The gift table/party hats & wizard of oz rings for all of the little munchkins
Bitty’s antique high chair that has been used by all four of my children, myself, all of my cousins, my uncle, my aunt, & my mom
“Auntie Em’s cupcakes in a jar
more of her table…
her special cupcake…
a little bit more of the dining room…
a collage of her 2nd year with all of the folks that adore this sweet baby girl
scare crow, tin man, & lion
“lions, tigers, & bears…oh my!”
“Bitty is 2!” banner, along with more of her special wizard of oz goodies
last picture of the dining room…
kitchen & living area
drink area…
“wicked witch’s brew”
“Glinda’s raspberry lemonade”
the candy station…
my favorite scare crow quote…
Tin Man hearts
Tin Man hats
“we represent the lollipop guild”
the munchkins loved this this candy bar
Dorthy’s sugar cookies
After seeing the peppermint trays I made for Christmas, my husband came up with the brilliant idea of making a yellow brick road tray with butter scotch & cinnamon hard candies (no really, I love this fella of mine!)
the bar full of goodies & decorations…
“Happy Birthday” banner
Bitty’s big sister (4 years old) even wrote on the slate for her
and possibly the very picture that gave me the idea to choose this theme, a picture my husband’s aunt gave us years ago
I wanted to have the movie playing in the background during the party. Turns out our family and friends of all ages were glued to it! Some had never seen it and others hadn’t seen it in years.
of course her party wouldn’t have been complete without her Dorthy dress & ruby slippers
“Lions, Tigers, & Bears…oh my!” Banner
“Bitty is 2!” Banner
Bitty’s party invitations
Happy birthday to our precious baby girl!
