Training Body & Soul

A Pinterest Inspired “Belle” Birthday Party! (Chip costume included!)

June 4, 2012

I have no idea if you are interested in this type of thing, so I apologize in advance if you aren’t! However, I thought I’d give you a little glimpse into my family life!! My little girl, Lila, turned 3 on Sunday. She wanted a Princess Belle birthday party ever since she watched “Beauty and the Beast” (one time!) so that’s what she got!

Menu:

♦ Chili Dogs (yes, we occasionally eat hot dogs around here!)

♦ No More Muffin-Top Mac & Cheese

♦ Veggie Cups (carrots, peppers and celery with a small bit of ranch dressing)

♦ Fruit Cups (strawberries, pineapple & cherries)

♦ Chips and Pretzels

♦ Belle Dress & Mrs. Potts cookies!

♦ A Princess cake!

♥♥♥

Opening up the first present of the day!

Delicious cookies from Hannah Banana Cookies and a rose ball–inspired by Pinterest!

Veggie Cups with a bit of ranch dressing at the bottom. (Thanks Pinterest!)

Fruit cups in cupcake liners. Guess where I got the idea?! LOL!

Lila’s friend, Lucy with us! We were having fun!

My son said he wanted to dress up as “Chip” from Beauty & the Beast. My mom looked for a costume and couldn’t find one and made this!


♥♥♥

My fearless little girl playing with a birthday present–swingset rings! (Mommy was playing with them too!)

We had a wonderful day celebrating my beautiful little girl! She is such a blessing to me and I’m so honored to be her mama!

    Love it! I’ve been thinking about getting the kids a set of rings once we out-grow the baby swing stage…mostly because I loved playing with them as a kid! 🙂

    Is your mom willing to make another one I could purchase for a one year old?

      Hi Kate! That’s so nice of you to ask! This isn’t anything she does as a business, so I’ll have to decline on her behalf. 🙁 I bet you could whip it up with no problem, though!!
      Good luck!

    Just wondering what kind of planter she used. Is it plastic? and where do you get such a perfectly shaped one. I am in Australia so im not sure Id be able to get the same anyway….but Id like to try 🙂

      Hi Janey! Yes–I think it was plastic–and I think she found it at Home Depot or something. I may have seem them at Walmart too. Just try any home improvement or gardening store!
