Littlest Pet Shop Party

Littlest Pet Shop stuff was hard to find, so I made my own decor. Each table had a birthday cake centerpiece with LPS images from their website and #4s. There were bowls of gold fish crackers and "bird seed" (sunflower seeds).
We bought our new patio furniture just in time for the party. I found these paper lanterns at the dollar store.
The food was all pet themed: Hot Dogs, "Pup"peroni & "Snausage" Pizza, "Cat Chow" (Cracklin' Oat Bran) served in a pet food bowl, breadsticks knotted like "Rawhides", the "Bunny Buffet" was a veggie tray, Swedish fish in fish bowls, "Fish Food" was gummy worms, "Hamster Chow" was Chex Mix, a bowl of Annie's brand bunny cookies, and of course homemade "Puppy Chow".

Aidan & Tristan our friends and now neighbors. All the kids could stop at the "Puppy & Kitty Transformation Station" for masks, candy collars w/ ID tags, and LPS tatoos.
Aidan was with Tristan and his mom, Emily, before the party. Emily got Aidan ready for the party and made up for having a boy by getting out her curling iron and giving Aidan a head full of curls- it was ADORABLE!!!
One of our games was the "Kitty Litter Scoop". We bought a new litter pan (of course), filled the bottom with candy, then added rice for the litter, and let the kids take turns scooping the litter. For added effect we molded tootsie rolls into faux cat terds.
The kids were a little grossed out, but really intrigued!

JD took the first scoop and decided to test out a "Kitty Cookie"

Jonathan already has big, brown, puppy dog eyes, the mask just enhanced them and crossed them a little!
We found this Littlest Pet Shop birthday set and thought it would be perfect as a cake topper.


Aidan loves to go to JD's house to play with his transformers, star wars toys and all the cool toys that she doesn't really know anything about. JD knows she loves Transformers so he picked this one out for her.

"Thanks Tristan!" **Hug** "Your welcome Aidan!" I'm so glad I captured this cute exchange between friends.

All the kids we tired and getting cold while Aidan was opening her gifts V E R R Y S L L L O W W L L Y! JD just couldn't take it, he kept trying to help.
Aidan had an amazing birthday (week)! She got so spoiled and we had fun spoiling her! She's a great kid and she really appreciated all the special things we did. It's a good thing we went through her toy room and got rid of all that "baby stuff" as she put it- she's a big kid now and she doesn't let us forget it! It goes both ways- we like pulling that "you're 4 now, you can____"
