After much anticipation, here’s part II from Caitlyn’s 5th birthday.
We had a great turnout – could be because we invited way too many kids! What can I say – Caty has LOTS of wonderful friends!
I had gotten the great idea of doing “stations” from one of Caty’s friends birthday party’s. We had 4 tables set up and it definitely made things move more quickly, plus my previous career as a preschool teacher helped. Scott mentioned after the party that it was funny to hear my “teacher voice” come back out. Thanks to my mom, along with Scott’s mom and sister, and my friend Farah for manning the tables!!
Let the decorating begin!!
And of course we had to decorate Hanna too!
Caty patiently waiting for her friends to arrive…
And Kim, this one if for you, because you remembered after all this time! Love you!
Literally the same pose – 3 years apart!
Let the party begin!! 
Decorating their goodie bags with polka dots 
Table #1 – cupcake decorating
Table #2 – button making
Table #3 – bookmark making and coloring a picture for Caty (her name with polka dots – and each child colored one for her as a keepsake)
Table #4 – party hat and dot art painting
Daddy and Hanna hanging out
Time for presents!

What a fun party theme idea...I can tell she had a blast! Thanks for sharing the joy:-)
That looked like a lot of fun. Caity was smiling the whole time. You could tell she was excited and having such a good time!
Wow. You definitely throw a party! LOL! I'm more of the let the kids run around and play, eh we'll eat come cake, do the presents, whatever type of planner! I think my favorite pic was the collage where she was doing the exact same thing at age 2 as age 5...too cute!
I AM SO EXCITED about that picture collage! When I saw your FB post I couldn't wait to check it out! And wow-how grown up. It's so awesome to watch our kids grow up and see really how much they have transformed from babies into little amazing people. She is just precious.
You are one heck of a party designer! I think I may steal some ideas for "stations" at Preston's next party. Since he is December and it's cold here I will rent out the clubhouse in the development.
Such amazing pictures and I love the family shot of all of you. I am still watching the flights and dates for Nashville because we need to get the kids together and I really want to meet you in person!
What a great time!!! I just love all the polka dots! Cute pedicures too!!! Great photo's! Happy Birthday Caty!!!
Caity is so lucky to have you. Her smiling face from the picts tell that she enjoyed all the little & big things that happen around her. Happy Birthday Caity!!

How long did it take you to cut out all of those polka dots?! I love that even your toenails had polka dots! The stations are a great party idea! Caty certainly has a lot of good friends . . . I think her smile is like a magnet!
