Rainbow Fun

We are headed to TN for the week. My sister's wedding is next Saturday, the 17th, and we're all so excited! But Eveley Joy's 3rd birthday is the 18th and I didn't want her special day to be spent in the car driving back to Virginia. So we decided to have her 3rd birthday party a week early.

A while back, I asked her what kind of party she wanted. She said it had to be a rainbow party. Eveley is obsessed with rainbows and the rainbows colors. She learned a song from Mickey Mouse:

Red Orange Yellow Green Blue
And don't forget there's Purple Too
Rainbow colors for me and you.

We sing it many times a day. And she is very picky on having the colors in the proper order. Rainbow party it was!

I immediately knew the perfect rainbow cake and cupcakes. I saw this idea on the blog of a friend's friend. Although it's pretty time consuming, Eveley and I had tons of fun making them together.

Even the mess was pretty!



Having an April birthday almost demands a park party! We were blessed with gorgeous weather! Here comes the birthday girl.













Notice her rainbow shirt!






Mr. Caleb decided to make his own rainbow by doing a face plant on the cement sidewalk moments after getting to the park. sigh.


Fun and bright party favors!



The cake looked pretty basic.



I held my breath...

Perfect!


Happy 3rd Birthday Eveley Joy!
