Mia's 3rd Birthday Party

Yesterday was Mia's birthday party at Oil and Cotton here in Oak Cliff.  Oil and Cotton is an art studio where they offer art classes as well as a space to have parties.  Many of Mia's friends came to the party.  Including Mia, there were 14 kids!  Mimi, Aunt Rachel, Zoey, Shayna, and Kaylee were there as well.  I went with a ballerina theme because Mia loves to twirl and dance in her tutus.  She has at least half a dozen of them (if not more).  I tried not to go too overboard with the girly stuff since I knew we would be having some boys at the party.  I paired aqua with a light pink to even it out a little.  I absolutely love planning Mia's birthday parties.  It only comes once a year, so I really try to have fun with it and do things I think she will enjoy.  The ladies at Oil and Cotton led the kids in making paintings.  It was fun to see how each child's painting turned out.  We had the usual snacks, cake, ice cream, and presents.  It was a really wonderful day, and I'm so glad that Mia's friends were there to celebrate her birthday.
