Ella Kate's 5th Birthday Party Part 1 - The Setup

This year Ella Kate had an extra special 5th birthday party!  A few months ago Ella Kate and I started brain storming party themes :)  When we came up with a woodland fairy garden I knew that we needed to enlist LeLe's help.  You can see from the pics that sweet LeLe took the fairy garden idea to a whole new level when she turned her once herb garden into a magical fairy garden!  

I still can't believe that our baby girl is 5 years old.  She is truly a joy and Dave and I could not be more proud of her.  We owe LeLe and Papa a huge Thank You for making the sweetest fairy garden party possible!  Below are some pics of the setup.

 Miss Priss wanted in on the action setting up her table.

 Loved this sweet setup for her 12 fairy friends.  The chair covers were my favorite and completely LeLe's idea.  The pink covers were plastic table cloths from the $1 store and the fan/pinwheels on the back came 2 to a pack at the $1 store and LeLe had the vision of making them tie backs for the chairs.  Loved them!!  Praying Ella Kate gets her creativity from LeLe :)

 I am not going to lie.  It took me a long time to cut out all those plates :)  HaHa

 The gardens ready to be transformed into magical fairy gardens.

 Little Ladybugs.  These were easy and tasted good.  Will surely be making these again.

 Sandwich Snails.  Gotta give Dave credit for this one :)

 LeLe's magical fairy garden.  It is even more magical at night when the globes light up.  Love it!

 Fairies like to swing.

 Notice the birthday cake in the gazebo.

 Fairies even have their own gardens.

 One of my favorite fairy houses.

 LeLe even made a fairy bbq pit for Dave :)

 This year we did "flower" cupcakes and "flower pot" ice cream cups instead of cake.
