Lauren and I love coming up with little catch-phrases for her parties (and we love when they rhyme!) so DANCE&SHINE was such a fun way to celebrate her 9th birthday! When I started looking for places to host her party (last year her party was at our house, so I knew we needed to change it up and book a fun venue this time!) I stumbled upon a fun new local dance studio - Artist Avenue - and this is where the theme kind of created itself, because Artist Avenue happens to be home of hip hop! And what better way to combine a dance party with turning 9…adding in a little 90’s hip hop vibes!

Ethan's LEGO Party

For Ethan’s 6th birthday party, we finally settled on a LEGO theme - and it was the perfect way to celebrate our little LEGO-loving guy! We hosted the party at the park beside our house - it has a fun new play structure and lots of green space and trees (and not to mention easy to set up at since we don't have to haul things very far!)
