I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore Toto.
For Siena’s 4th Birthday party this past weekend
we went Over the Rainbow with our little Dorothy and her friends to celebrate. As she gets older, birthdays are more
important to her and a theme seems to be a must. So when we talked about all the different
options with her, we were surprised when we landed on something that wasn’t
Disney oriented. Siena wanted a Wizard of Oz party. Grandma Gail had bought
her the perfect Dorothy dress at Easter time, and Siena’s part in the party was
never in question.
With Dorothy ready to go, we built a fun party set for her
and her friends to enjoy. If you know the
story, then you will appreciate our journey down the yellow brick road.
Looks like a twister – our 4 foot tall twister greeted our
guests .

Just beyond the twister and Over the Rainbow, someone dropped a house
on the Wicked Witch of the East!

As you past his scene you entered Munchkin land and the
started your journey on the yellow brick road.

As guests continued their journey along the yellow brick
road they were accompanied by three smart, loving and courageous friends.

Through the poppy fields our travelers went until they reach
the Emerald City.

Once they finished their journey they were able to jump into
professor Marvel’s balloon for the journey back to Kansas.
With a face painter and arts and crafts activities the kids
could enjoy the lead in to the California party tradition, the piñata!

And then in the immortal words of Dorothy guests were reminded
that there was no place like home. It
was a fun day and with the help of so many of our good friends (special thanks
to Vicki and Chrystal) we had a great party for our little girl.
So with Goodie bags in hand, begone with you, before someone drops a house on you too! (But come back again soon!)
