My daughter, Emilia turned 3 this past Saturday. I still cannot believe she's 3 already- time is definitely flying! When I started formulating birthday and party ideas, I came across a
really fun surprise idea on
Pinterest. E is definitely a little balloon lover, so I knew she would love this surprise!
I stayed up late Friday night blowing up balloons and filled 3 trash bags. I set my alarm to wake up at 6:30 to make sure I got them in her room before she woke up. If you're my friend on facebook, you probably saw my post saying "
One of the few acceptable reasons to set an alarm clock for Saturday morning :: covering the birthday girl's bedroom floor with balloons as a surprise for when she wakes up!" And it was totally worth it! When she first woke up, she just laid in bed calling for me...I could tell she hadn't realized the balloons yet, so I grabbed our camera and went in her room like nothing was different. I closed the door behind me so the balloons couldn't escape and just started asking her how she slept, etc. It took her a couple minutes, but when she finally looked down, she was SO excited!
She ran into the hallway to tell Daddy, Grammy and Grampy about the balloons! We pushed all the balloons into the hallway and let the fun continue.
It was the perfect way to start this great day!
Another post to come soon about all her party festivities...there will be pirates, fairies, friends and fun! Plus I will finally be able to show off the Rosetta tutu skirt and coordinating tank I made for my little birthday girl. (O:
