Polka Dots and Little Black Spots...

... that's what ladybugs are made of...

Today Alora celebrated her 4th birthday with a Ladybug themed party. Her birthday was actually 2 weeks ago, but with everything going on, this was the first chance we had to throw it. She chose ladybugs because she has been OBSESSED with them ever since finding a ton this past spring in our neighbor's yard. She chose six friends to attend and together they all seemed to have a lot of fun. Another successful party accomplished!


I decided it might be fun for the 3 & 4-year olds to do a little craft instead of playing a bunch of games. We ended up making these cute little ladybugs for them to take home. Thanks to http://everything-ladybug.com/ladybug-paper-plate.craft.html for the cute idea!

One of games we played was "Put the Spot on the Ladybug."

Alora had to have a pinata. We found this cute ladybug pinata at www.CelebrateExpress.com .

The idea for the cupcakes came from http://www.cupcakecentral.com/. They are supposed to have antennas, but my licorice was too pliable and kept falling down.

Alora with all her gifts... what nice friends she has! Thanks for coming Rachel, Halle, Finley, Isaac, Hone, and Matt! Alora loved everything single gift and having her friends come play.
