EmmaLynn's Birthday Party plans


So EmmaLynn's birthday is still over 2 months away, as you all know, but I have already started thinking about it. She's is going to have two parties one in TN with family and one in KY so that her friends from church will be able to come. The party in TN is the much bigger one and will probably be held at the party barn that my sister's family owns. The KY one will probably be at mill street park because it touches my mom's work and we could use her office for the party part, if Burt doesn't mind, and then let the kids play at the park. Both of these cases saves me a lot of money because I won't have to pay for accommodations. So that only leaves decorations, food, party supplies, and presents.

EmmaLynn's new favorite thing is Dora the Explorer, so we've decided to go with that as the theme, all though we can't afford to go all out. Dora party stuff can get pretty expensive pretty quick but I figure if we just get a few big Dora things and put them in the right places, and then fill in with purple, yellow, and pink, (Dora colors) it will still look like we went all out. I will of course get Emmie an outfit that goes with the theme, (picture of possibility below) because we lucked into one last year so it's kind of a tradition and it makes for cute pictures.



I also think I will do cup cakes because they have cute Dora cupcake cups and toppers and it will save us money which is always good.
