Addison's Wizard of Oz Party

We celebrated Addison's Fourth birthday in the Land of Oz. She has been telling us since the day after her third birthday that she wanted a "Dorothy" party, and so I had all year to plan this out in my head.  Since it's not really a popular mainstream movie/book, there wasn't a lot out there in way of decorations that were already made.  So I decided to go with rainbow colors to tie in the theme "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"  All in all, we had a wonderful time and I am so thrilled with how it all came out!

The cake that I made with the help of two friends, Kristen and Nicole

The beautiful sign my good friend Jenelle made for Addison

Party favors: Rainbow twizzlers and marshmallows

I think it says it all

Your way to our front door

People were confused by this.  First of all we don't have a doorbell and secondly, this is the sign that was on the door when Dorothy reached Oz.
