Our daughter Elle turned eight this weekend. Elle decided that instead of a big party, she wanted to invite her 2 closest friends over for a sleepover party!
I started preparing the details for the party the beginning of the week. I wanted to make this party extra-special for my sweet girl since we didn’t have a party last year.
I had so much fun finding neat little details and elements to add to her party, I just love details { Elle does too and she really appreciates it ! }.
At the end of this post I have linked up where I found the tutorials and printables.
 |
| Jelly beans |
 |
| An “8″ made with two wreaths (see instructions below) |
 |
| A fun “celebrate” paper bunting |
 |
| Large paper flowers add a lot of color! |
 |
| I just love these flower topiaries! |
 |
| Fun labels made from scrapbook paper and printable labels |
 |
| Mis-matched vintage spoons |
 |
| Lots of glass mis-matched bowls I found at the Dollar Tree and Savers! |
 |
| Fun, vibrant colored flowers were the centerpiece. The “8″ was made with felt, cardboard and sequins. |
 |
| Printable I found (see below) and edited in Adobe Photoshop Elements |

| 8 is great! I found these fun soda fountain glasses at Savers for $1.99 a piece! |
 |
| More jelly beans! I scattered sequins on the white table runner for more color and sparkle! |
 |
| Yummy! |
 |
| We took a trip to the Build a Bear workshop |
 |
| Myah just loves her big sister! |
 |
| We found this furry little guy on a trip to the pet store. Elle thought he would make the “perfect birthday present”. No such luck….sorry Elle! |
 |
| The girls took a dip in the hot tub while I made dinner. |
 |
| Cheeeeeeese-burgers! |
 |
| Followed by ice cream sundaes…..YUM YUM YUM! |
The girls danced and later headed upstairs for popcorn and a movie. Surprisingly, they weren’t up too – too late.
However, they were up before 7am. Myah had the stomach bug…poor thing 
 |
| Rainbow pancakes for breakfast! |
 |
| Fun, feathery masks I found at the Dollar Tree! {….and of course who doesn’t love whoopie cushions?!? } |
 |
| My girl is 8! |
 |
| Our first trip to the American Girl doll store, my Mom { Mammy } came along. |
 |
 |
| Kanai came home with us! |
 |
| A birthday dinner with our family { minus poor Myah }. Followed by a cake and makings wishes… |
 |
| 8 is great! |
Most everything was perfect. Elle was thrilled. Happy birthday big girl, we love you so very much!
