The alice birthday party this year was a week before the anniversary date this year, for strategic reasons, as we will be away on the weekend of her date. Who missed the previous year – here's the link to her 2-year anniversary.
Anyway, this year's theme was cowgirl/cowboy/Jessie from the movie Toy Story. Of course, if I had let her choose a few days before, it would have been frozen (what a fever huh?!), but I thought it's very popular these days and I don't like doing the same as what everyone else is doing.
Alice saw all our preparation and running, so it wasn't a revelation when everything was ready. I think she was happier with all the kids who came and almost didn't stop the whole party quietly.
We made a mixture of foods prepared at home and other ready-made foods and the decoration too, with things coming from Brazil (special thanks to the grandmothers, for the help), bought here or invented even (but all assembled "in house"). I think pint
erest was a great source of inspiration to come up with the party that wasn't entirely Disney movie theme.
Luckily, Diego's parents came from Brazil for a visit and gave us the greatest help in decorating and preparing the delicacies. Good, because even with more hands available, it was a marathon to get everything ready. Not everything turned out exactly as I wanted, others did as well as I had planned.
But of course it was all worth it, for our little girl who is about to complete 3 years!
Here are some pictures of the event… Hehe:
