Nalah's Unicorn Party

I am far behind in keeping up with the blog. Seems my family and I have been dealing with non-stop illness since the beginning of February. It is just nuts, I don't know what is going on. One illness after another literally going on 7 different bouts of crud, I am so over it. I have a sick boy home from school today which is the first day after spring break and a sick little girl too. Poor kids. Ben and I are just getting over a very long lasting mono like illness, it was so not fun.

I wanted to share Nalah's Birthday pictures before her Birthday month is over. Geesh, I used to be way better at this blogging thing. 

                                      

Nalah and I spent a cold rainy morning at the zoo on her birthday while Papa was working and the older kids were in school.We got to see the new baby lions and the flamingos that are new since we had been there last. The good thing about going in bad weather is that we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. 

 

 Nalah is taking after her Papa and got a new drum set for her birthday.

 

....and a bubble machine.

Nalah's party theme this year was Unicorns only because I found a Pin The Horn On The Unicorn game at a yard sale last summer for a whopping 10 cents.

 I found these great edible Unicorn cake toppers at Sweet Petal Cottage on Etsy! Some friends threw them out without knowing you could eat them, I guess I should have made sure to tell everyone. Nalah ripped mine off and ate it so I have no idea what it tasted like. I was told by the guests that they were good and sugary but Solomon said it tasted like soy bacon!

 I made unicorn horn hair clips for all of her little friends at the party.

 Nalah's fancy Birthday dress that she wore for a full 15 minutes at her party ;) It has since become her favorite gardening outfit.

 Her bubble machine was a big hit (Notice Sophie's horn?).

For Nalah's Birthday bunting I found a cute unicorn fabric by Heather Ross in her  "Crafty Chloe" line of fabric and the strawberry and flower print is also Heather Ross's "Briar Rose". I got the entire Briar Rose fabric collection in fat quarters from Ben for my Birthday and I am planning to make Nalah a quilt this spring as a belated Birthday gift, we will see. It is so hard for me to cut up Heather Ross's beautiful prints.
