Party Day!
The party went off without a hitch for the most part! It was super humid that day so that definitely wasn't fun, but the party was a huge success! We hired a face painter and used a balloon company to come do the balloon decorations and both were big hits! We had the face painter only give two options- unicorns and dragons and I love how it turned out. She did all the kids slightly different which was neat.
Pretty much the day after Embry's party last year she requested a piñata for her next birthday party so that was a must. It was tough with 30+ kids, not everyone got to hit it and there were some tears....but it was fun for most! Hah.
When it was time for candles and cupcakes, I think Embry had had a little too much birthday. She had her stuffed unicorn Mimi and Papa had given her the night before in a chair next to her and lost it crying when a kid moved it to sit by her. It's so unlike her to get upset for an unreasonable reason these days, but I guess she was taking the saying- it's my party and I'll cry if I want to- seriously. Luckily she got over it quickly.
Overall, the party was so much fun! I had done a ton of work ahead of time and the day of it just ran smoothly and everyone seemed to have fun!

The After Party
My whole family and Jacob's step-dad, Mark, were in town for the party so afterwards we fed everyone pizza for lunch and the kids opened gifts and pretty much everyone napped-hah! That night we had a relaxing evening at the house, Jacob cooked out, and the kids played! Jacob re-stuffed the piñata and taped it back up so the 5 Fanning grands could have a go at it!
