A Butterfly Birthday

Paige has been planning a birthday for her doll, Lucy and we celebrated last night. It was a lot of fun and Paige loved every minute of it. She decided on a butterfly themed party and put on the invitation that if we wanted to buy Lucy a gift she listed what brand she is and that you get can get gifts at Walmart. :) Nate was wondering why he hadn't thought of this as a kid and that he should have had birthdays for all his toys so that they could get presents. Paige is a smart kid and also very giving and kind and also loves to plan parties. It was a fun little party!

We started off with a butterfly hunt. Paige had cut out three butterflies for each of us to find. She had different colors for each of us and had decorated envelopes and had one in it so we knew what to look for. She even hid some for her dolls that she helped them find. 

Then we played don't step on the butterfly playdough. It was so cute watching her cover her dolls eyes and have them walk around and watching her have her dolls "accidently" step in the playdough a few times. We all took a turn and Pops had shoes on and one of the butterflies stuck to the bottom of his shoe. Another fun game for the party!

Then Lucy "opened" presents- Paige had bought her a present with her own money a few weeks ago and Nona and I also bought her a present. It was fun to watch Paige's excitement and watching her help Lucy open them. Baylor wanted to open a present and has been asking about opening a present under the Christmas tree for the past few weeks and so Paige was kind enough to let Baylor help open the last one.

Then Paige made the most delicious and rich chocolate cake. She made the cake and frosting all by herself and it turned out amazing. She also decorated it so cute!

We ended our little party with singing to Lucy and blowing out the candles. It was a fun little evening for a very creative girl and her doll.

When I put Paige to bed, she was so happy and excited about her party and the little gifts that she got. I told her how I was impressed with her cake and how fun the party was and she did such a good job at planning it. She then gave me a giant hug and it just warmed my heart. I love Paige and all her creativity so much even when it requires me to buy a gift for her doll which is really for her. :)
