How does your garden grow? Elizabeth's 5th Birthday

We had such a great time for Elizabeth's fifth birthday! With this theme:

Mary Mary Quite Contrary
How does your garden grow?

Every garden should have chicks to scratch up the soil so the first stop of the day was to buy a chick of course! But then they were buy six, get six.

Not so sure...

maybe...

Loves her chicks!


After picking the chicks we headed home and Elizabeth said,"Can I have a lamb?"
Maybe next year!



I made a garden cake while Daddy made a garden.


A garden cake with veggies made from
fruit chew candies. See the chicks in there?

Our first garden here at our new house. 


Red bud in the front yard. Finally looking like spring around here.





We wore garden hats, ate Garden Salad, Fruits of the Garden Salad, Hamburgers and Hot Dogs
Baked Beans, Strawberry Lemonade, Green Tea and Yummy Sangria
for everyone except the children and I!

Yummies from the party.



I made this with a cricut.

Elizabeth loves books.

I made some party favors....
Pots with Seeds and Monogrammed Plant Markers. Using Mod Podge I stuck an antique nursery picture of Mistress Mary on the pots---they came out cute. I wish I took that picture!




I'm so proud of you Elizabeth. You make my heart skip a beat. Love, Mommy
