Littlest Pet Shop Party

This party idea was requested by my dear little friend, Jillian, age 9.  Here are some fun ideas for hosting a Littlest Pet Shop Party!

Littlest Pet Shop Party Supplies from Birthday Express

Decorate with purple, lime, and pink helium balloons, streamers, and tablecovers.

Serve fish food (gummy worms), kitty food (goldfish crackers), puppy food (pigs and blankets), and birdie food (sunflower seeds).

Do face painting. Look online for ideas for painting puppy or kitten faces on the kids.

Use free Littlest Pet Shop printables for invitations, decorations, or a coloring activity.

Time to Make Holiday Memories!

Ok, so it's time to deck and halls and be jolly! So while the fam was in town for Thanksgiving, we went and got our Christmas Tree! Now, it was much more fun than it sounds... First, we took a horse-drawn hayride to the backlot for all of the fun. We were all given our own baggie with s'more ingredients to roast over a campfire. Also Santa was there with Comet, Cupid, and Donner. So we got to tell him what we wanted and got a picture, we even got to feed the reindeer! We seen geese, pigs, miniature horse, donkey, and a beautiful rooster. They also had a playground. The weather was perfect. We chose our tree and headed back. What great holiday memories! Isn't that what it's all about?

Here are some tried and true Thanksgiving traditions and recipes to make this year super special!
