Cecilia's Chicka Boom Boom Party

While Chris was away, we were invited to Cecilia's 3rd birthday. The 'K' family puts on the best parties. They love children's literature and this party celebrated Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Aren't they a beautiful family! The kid's craft is on the wall. They made palm trees with ink from their hand and arm. Then they had alphabet stamps to show the letters climbing up the tree like in the book. I think they put coconuts on with their finger prints too.

Here are the kids working on the craft.

And even the snack was true to theme! So cute. Apple slices, malt balls, gummy letters, chocolate wafters.

Each family got to take home a copy of the book. My kids didn't have this book and I had never read it. The author, Bill Martin, however wrote another one of our favorites, Brown Bear, Brown Bear.

I think Emily had a really great time! Here she is with the birthday girl.

David and Lia had a ball too. It was a little crazy!

And here is Cecilia with her gift... We found orange and pink polka dotted pajamas justl like the ones on the cover of the book. Clever gift, eh?

And thank you to Blair! I think she gets credit for most of these photos. I didn't have my camera but got tagged on Facebook for many of these. Very fun!
