Scarlett's 8th Birthday: Horses....again.

I don't know how many horse parties we've had so far. I think it's been 3 or 4. But this girl loves her horses. So we did her party at Diamond C Stables here in Texas.  As you can see, she had a wonderful day. For decor this year, I used a lot of the stuff that I had saved from this party HERE when she turned 4. I just added some pretty florals and greens. The inspiration were the cute plates that I found on Zazzle.com. I got some coral flowers at Michael's and we did mini pies and horse bracelets to take home for the favors. We found these cute bracelets HERE that are super cute and good quality for the price! We bought some little horseshoe baggies off of Etsy to gift them in.

If any of you know Scarlett, you know that she dislikes any cakes, cupcakes or frosting. A friend suggest a Bundt cake place here and we got some mini bundtkin cakes from Nothing Bundt Cakes. Scarlett seemed to like those in chocolate. The pumpkin pie that I made for her birthday dinner the night before was her real favorite. I stuck some horse toothpicks in the Bundtkins that I found for $4 at Michael's. Super affordable this year with the decor. Scarlett had plenty of horse things to decorate with which made it easier. 

The party included face painting, a horseshoe craft, learning how to lasso a bull, riding horses (of course) and then they each got to handprint the horse with paint at the end. I think they all thought that was the best part. I can't believe my Scarlett is 8 years old!! I say this every year but them turning another year older hits me harder than any birthday of mine. I'm thankful for another year with this bright light of mine. I am so proud of the wonderful, kind and loving soul that she is and always has been. Cheers to another year with you Scarlett!! We love you....
