Kate's Pancakes & Pajamas Party

Kate's 6th (!!!!) Birthday Party was on Saturday.

She (we) picked the theme over 6 months ago to incorporate 2 of her favorite things...Pancakes & Pajamas!

She wanted the colors to be Purple & Green (her 2 favorite colors)  

 Here is the invite that I made:
{Available HERE in my Etsy Shop!}

I made the all the decor & had it revolve around the invites.... lots of purple, green & chevron:

The party was from 10:30 until 12:00, and all of her guests wore their favorite pajamas!
The first thing the girls did when they arrived is make a fruit loop necklace: 

Then it was time for pancakes! 

 

Kevin manned the griddle:

Toppings!  Syrup in a squeeze bottle is the way to go!

 I also had other food besides pancakes:

 Drinks....For the kids:

And, you know one of my parties isn't complete without a desserts/sweets table!

On the table I had:





And, of course....the cake. If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know that my mother in law makes the cakes for my kid's birthdays. Her cakes are amazing. Here is this year's cake, made to match the pancake on the invite:


After the girls ate pancakes, I had them do their craft. I bought a bunch of plain white pillowcases so they could decorate a pillowcase. It was such a beautiful January day in California, so they played in the backyard and made their pillowcases:

We ended the party with the cake!

 For the favors, I had "pancake" cookies made at our local bakery.

I love how they turned out!

 I put them in brown lunch bags tied with ribbon & added a sticker that I made.

 It was such a fun party & super mellow. All 14 girls got along so well.

Kate has meet some really sweet girls this year. Kindergarten is such a fun age!

I can't believe Kate will be 6 this week!
