Last weekend we celebrated Charlotte's 4th birthday. Friends of ours have a rule that kids aren't allowed to chew bubble gum until they turn 4, so we've been telling Charlotte that ever since she's been asking about bubble gum. She decided that for her 4th birthday she wanted it all to be about gum and candy, so when a cute little girl asked, here is what we came up with.
Charlotte checking out her slideshow before all of her guests arrived.
Here is a little sample of the spread we put out. Looking at these pictures makes me want to brush my teeth, but all of the kids seemed to love it!
Here are all of the craft bags waiting for all of Charlotte's cousins and friends.
Decorating aprons.
We read a fun book, called Bubble Gum Bubble Gum about a few animals that got stuck in a wad of gum on the road. Lots of fun!
Here are some of the kids decorating their cupcakes for later.

And time for presents...
Melissa found a bubble gum machine piñata and this is what ensued.
Eventually we just beat the thing open with our bare hands. Either way, lots of candy and toys hit the floor.
Right after that we gave Ollie and Charlotte a gift for both of them that some of our family helped us with. Their faces say it all.
Finally, 4 candles for the birthday girl.
Hard to believe our baby is already 4. Can't wait to see what this little girl does next!
