We recently celebrated Zion’s 5th birthday and even mother nature gifted us with a present of the most perfect day. Besides Zion turning 5, there are so many other things about him and how much he has accomplished that also merited being celebrated. A colourful theme seemed very fitting plus that meant I didn’t really have to purchase much since I already had lots of colourful party items.  This post may be a bit long so I apologize in advance; lots of pictures!

I was inspired by a cake I saw online

A picture wall is tradition at our parties. See hereand here.

I made Z’s initial from these look alike light bulbs I scored at AC Moore. They are still mounted on the wall…

I purchased coloured cups from the Dollar Store and made a back drop for a photo booth. It was time consuming, but so worth it! Everyone loved it too!

Little Ian’s bookcase was used to display the food. It was perfect for the colourful theme.

In addition to a bounce house, there was a balloon maker who also doubled as a face painter.

The favor table.

Each child received a rainbow colored magic spring.

These balloons were an easy way to add festive cheer to the front of the house. They were kept in place by golf tees.

A number 5 wreath was the perfect addition to the front door. It even lights up!  Though, I have many more pictures, I think I should probably stop here with the pictures. The party was really fun and I am thrilled I enlisted the services of photographer, Patty of Patty K Photography. She did a superb job capturing it all. xximages©Patty K Photography
