Kali is 3! We had a party for her the day after her birthday. It worked out perfect because my mom had come to visit for Bristol's fall break from school and came just the night before. It was a crazy day with the primary program practice in the morning and then getting ready for her party. So her requests were to have balloons, a Dora the Explorer cake (or cupcakes), and presents. I think we fulfilled her desires and I am sure she had a great day.
I put Nate in charge of the games for the kids. He blew up the rest of the balloons and had them do a balloon waddle game. We were so lucky that the weather was absolutely beautiful for her party and the kids were able to play outside.
Kali has seen these cupcakes being made on TV and had wanted them for a while. They actually took less time to make then I thought they would. I was able to make different parts of them ahead of time so I am sure that helped. I just had to assemble last minute touches right before the party.
Mmmmm...cake is so good!
This was a scavenger hunt of sorts. I drew a picture of "Map" and drew a map with directions to the party favors (I used the idea from my sister when she made a treasure map for her son's birthday, thanks Lisa). They had to go to the waterfall, up the mountain (the stairs), through the tunnel (table with a blanket on it), and find the treasure box. It was a pretty big hit and super easy to do.

Through the tunnel.
The treasure to be enjoyed by all.
Hope you had a happy birthday our little bug. We love you and are so grateful to have you in our family. You have quite a personality and keep us smiling and laughing often. We love you!

That looks so fun! happy birthday Kali!
What cute cupcakes! I tried to make a Dora cake for Annalise's third birthday. Your cakes are sooo much better.
I love how we all decorate cupcakes now. So fun. Kali is such a cutie and has so much personality. She is becoming quite the little girl and no longer a baby.
