Picture Lisa Frank posters with unicorns, glitter, rainbows and magical kittens.
We want to freeze her cuteness right now and bottle it up because she is the best. I don't want her to ever know how evil the world is because she doesn't belong on it.

Sage wanted a magical unicorn party and so that is what we gave her. We were definitely on a budget but Sage just makes me want to go all out so I did.
We had one of our favorite bakers make her a pastel rainbow cake and Annie Pugmire made the cake amazing and it definitely tasted like a magical rainbow cake. Any time I have asked her for a cake for a wedding or event she has delivered what I needed.
Annie you rock!
We planned this party to be outside so I had some amazing stuff planned but it rained. And it bummed me out but it did not Sage, because that is the type of person she is.
So we took down the decor on the wall above the couch and put her decorations up there and the unicorn balloon and put the cake and banners in the kitchen and we were ready to party!
I got the most adorable paper plates, cups, utensils, Rainbow Dash balloon, and the banner from Zurchers. I love that store but I love it even more now shopping for sage's party. They had one isle for birthdays that had the cutest stuff and I could not decide what to get because they were all so dreamy.
So I let sage decide, and they were all magical, of course.
I didn't know how we were going to fit all the people we invited in our tiny house, and I was self conscious about it because it was messy. I wasn't planning a party inside. But we put a folding table and chairs in front of the couch and it all worked out.
Sage is already showing signs that she is passionate about art. She was frustrating at times because she knew what she wanted at this party and I was getting impatient with her. But I know how being a struggling artist where you have a vision in your head and when it doesn't manifest itself it is so frustrating. So I decided to let her be a part of the planning and try hard to not take over the reigns. It was costly this way but I am glad that I did because she really enjoyed the process.
The biggest part of the decor was the rainbow. I just went to the craft store and bought three posters and some poster markers, I taped them together and drew the rainbow and the night before I let sage do most of the coloring then cut it out. She really loved it because it was HER rainbow. Raelyn tried to help so it was a little messy but it was mostly about the fun of making their own decor. Add some white balloons for the "clouds" Boom.
I bought some of those pipe cleaners at Michael's because they are so stinking cheap and let them play with those and make things out of them. It gave them something to do after we ate the cake and opened presents. There was so many kids there and it showed how many people Sage makes friends with.
I had a friend of mine Hannah Russell come and video the event because I saw another video she did for family and it was so darling. I have always just taken pictures and they don't always turn out or we have lost birthday pictures because we broke our phones. So I am doing this at every birthday from now on.
This video shows their happy faces, and their reactions to things is so much better in a video than a picture. She is very talented. If you want her to come film your kid's party contact me. I am sure she would love to come!.
Love you Hannah!
Enjoy the video of Sage's 5th Rainbow Party...
