Horse Birthday Bash

My godmother, Joan, always throws the most AMAZING themed birthday parties for her daughter, Alexandria! Seriously, her parties should be featured on some of those children's design blogs. She is so creative and has the neatest ideas!! Because Alexandria has become very accomplished in horse jumping and riding, the theme was "Horse Jumping." She turned her entire dining room into a stable! The walls were covered in paper that looked just like the inside of a barn.

Check out all of the neat details!! Even the lights were turned into lanterns!! So cute!! There was even a miniature table especially for my two little riders!

Even the window (which had a view of the driveway) was made to appear as if it looked out into a field for horses to run and jump! Talk about perfection!!The girls had a lot of fun and laughs decorating a candy horse barn.Karson totally thought that she was just "one of the girls." She wanted to participate in everything they did.......even though they had about 10 years on her!

Braids........well, he was more interested in swiping licks and nibbles than "helping" with the project!

Even most of the gifts that the birthday girl received were horse related!!

And, of course, Karson had to help her open every one!

I think Equestrianism is so regal and classy! I am thrilled that Alexandria has taken up such a cool sport!! I, on the other hand, have only ridden a horse once (on a date in college) and was scared to death! Maybe one day she will be able to convince me to try it again and teach me a thing or two!
