September starts and is for this momma the time to get ready to prepare for one of my babies birthdays, this time is Stellita's turn, she turned 5!! Well, technically her birthday is on the 10th but I always use the weekend to make a little party for my kids, this year was the Donut theme, I adored the "Donut Grow Up party" we had, it suits her perfectly because obviously she is growing up and starting new facets in her life this year (like school for the first time) and I am all happy and sad at the same time.
5 is a big number, "the whole hand" number as I was telling her,
and Stella is getting more and more mature and sweet every time.
The party was a success, we had plenty of donuts and sweets, games, music and the best part: my Stella coming to me at the end and tell me: "I loved my party, you are the best momma int he world" it melted my heart completely and although I am far from the "best momma in the world", it means so much to me that she thinks I am ♥
Here I am sharing with you my favorite pictures of our little celebrations, ideas are millions on Pinterest, I copied many of them and made them my own with what I had and could get on Amazon or other stores, I will try to link some of the party supplies and other things I used.
Ikea Easel, we use it all the time, and for parties makes a lovely detail
to have your "kids stats"
This was our table for the kids to eat and sing "Happy birthday" the "Donut Grow up" balloons sign is from Amazon get it here comes with rose gold balloons too!
I saw the cutest idea to put 3 different kinds of milk flavors on glass jars (always be careful while using glass around kids) I got one of mine from the "Entertaining with Beth Subscription Box" ( I got a video about this Box that I love so much, you can watch it here), and the 2 others glass bottles are from the Dollar Tree store, get them here. my golden circle trays are from Michel's and I use them all the time, get them here!
This "Wolfgang Puck Warmer tray" is my favorite for my parties, makes super easy and pretty to present some hot meals, I made just a simple Chicken in the oven, mashed potatoes, and white steam rice with my favorite "Ensalada Rusa" (potatoes, beets, peans and carrots all seasoned with my homemade mayonnaise- you can use any mayonnaise)
The warmer tray is electric and I saw many options on Amazon or eBay, my Utensil holder is from Target (Similar here)
My cake is "semi-homemade", I bought the cakes and I made the decorations with colorful donuts! That simple, I was about to bake my own but time killed me, so I decided to go the easy but cute way! Napkins, plates, and cups are some from Amazon (donut theme, and some from Target too)
My big Jar- Juice dispenser is from Target (is plastic) and my garland is homemade from just many many cloth pieces, my teal felt board is also from Target, (similar here) and my cake stand (metal) is from Target as well.
as well as the goodie boxes and piñata!
It was a fun, sweet, crazy, and an adorable celebration that I will keep in my heart forever and I'm sure one day we will look back in pictures and get a big smile from them... the piñata, the donut game, the dancing and the laughs...Thank you, thank you to all our friends and family members that came that day and shared with us these moments. She loved all her presents and felt so lucky to have you all in her life and to be part of her special day.
We love you Stellita, to the moon and back, you are the perfect daughter to mom and dad, and the sweetest sister to Sophia and Victoria, we waited for you for many many years and you finally came to make our family so happy, I can't wait to share with you many more birthdays and cakes and laughs and hugs.
I love you with all my hear!
Mommy ♥
