A few months ago I decided I wanted to throw my daughter Julia a rainbow themed birthday party. All the colors of a rainbow are so cheery and bright, a very good representation of Julia and what a happy/joyful child she is. Thanks to the wonderful, addictive website of Pinterest, I found a multitude of great ideas from other moms and went to town creating fun decorations and food. It was fun to be creative and spend time making the party our own. I must say I had a blast creating the party but even more fun watching Julia enjoy every little detail today. I hope her life is always full of sunshine and rainbows!
