Rainbows, Sprinkles, So much more!

I have a confession for you, gather round. Get real close to the screen  so I can whisper the words into your internet ears;  I hate birthday parties. Not just the part where you have to attend and wear pants, but the planning part. Interacting with multiple people and coordinating arrivals and decorations and..and..and. It’s enough to make me want to just crawl back under covers with a bag of Reese’s cups and the remote. However, kids man. Kids. Savannah is obsessed with birthdays and parties. The entire ritual is still so magical to her and I don’t have the heart to take that joy away just because I’m a slacker.  Plus, it gives my O.C.D a reason to be a thing that exists so I just roll with it. I obviously picked her first birthday theme (WinterOne-derland. Mom loves a good pun) but she picked her 2^nd and 3^rd themes based on shows and movies she liked at the time. I’ll never forget all the Trolls themed party ideas I collected and started planning for her 3^rd Trollstice..when she abruptly changed her mind and demanded a Boss Baby Birthday party two weeks before her party. Demanded. Cried when I told her it wasn’t possible. And because moms a sucker for the water works has a big heart and Etsy saves lives, we made it happen. This year I was determined to get her locked into a theme early and in September, after tossing around the idea of just taking her to Charles Edward Cheddar ( Chuck E. Cheese for the uninitiated) on her actual birthday and making a cake, she decided on a Unicorn birthday party. Fun fact; I was a SUPER tom-boy as a kid so this whole “extra girly-girl” thing? Issa stretch for my imagination. Unicorns? You mean Narwhals?! Luckily, her God-mom helped pull all the little details together and her party this past Saturday was great. Take a peek at the pics below, I posted details so you can find these things yourself if you’re also a sucker in the biggest con of all:parenting big hearted.
