We are doing birthday flashback series because I’m such a slacker and didn’t post right after the events.
I’ll take you back to February for Cora Jane’s 2nd bday…
Cora Jane started her day with a Starbucks smoothie… her favorite…
February is a really rainy month in So Cal so we always struggle to find an indoor and affordable place for a party. Chick-fil-a has a great indoor play area and I discovered their parties are VERY affordable too! Her theme was purple and yellow flowers. I was able to drop off the decorations and favors the night before and Chick-fil-a provided plates tablecloths and balloons in our colors! We walked in the next morning to a party-ready place… (they added balloons to the chairs just after this picture)
Favors were flower bubble wands/trays in yellow and purple in big flower pots.
(I love using favors as centerpieces.)
My cousins, me and Cy in my belly…
My fave fare are fries dipped in the Chick-fil-a sauce. Yum… (ps I’m a dork)
The whole party including the party trays to feed all the kiddos was only $130!! Have I mentioned that a party at Chick-fil-a includes a friendly party host AND an appearance from the famous cow…
Cora Jane made that funny face during the b-day song again…
The family shot to record our color coordinating outfits…
The kiddo group shot. Only half the kiddos are crying, including the birthday girl!
We came home to open presents and it was someone’s idea to break out the cookie dough… (Auntie Olivia)
Then someone was feeding the children a regular supply… (Auntie Sarah)
Cora Jane loved throwing the tissue paper from her gifties…

Super cute party! My daughter turns 2 in February, and I am considering a CFA party for her. I hope our local CFA is as accomodating as yours!

They were great! It seems to be such a great company, I’m sure it will be great. Let me know how it goes and if you do a post, I’d love to see a link!
Sarah says
I’m remembering Ella’s headband injury – marked by the bandaid on her forehead. Thanks for the memories!
Eli's Lids says
Totally forgot about that!!

Great idea having a party at CFA. For Easton’s 5th b-day we did a a fire station tour (as the activity) then across the street went to Firehouse Subs(for a sandwich/chip/drink snack and cake) Are they in CA? It is a sub shop but with fire station props and theme. Super cool.
I wish we ate CFA (has given us food poisioning twice now) or I’d call ours here to see if they do parties.

Love the fire station idea!! We don’t have Firehouse Subs (that I know of). That would be awesome for Cy’s first bday… because I’m thinking Eli will want another pirate one…
