If you hadn't caught on by now, zuzu girl handmade was inspired by and named for our darling daughter, Zuzu when she was two and a half years old. My how time flies. This weekend we celebrated Zuzu's fourth birthday with several parties.
On Thursday there was a "school party" which involved only some colorful marshmallow pops and some silly band favors tied up with pretty little tags & bows. Fairly easy.
Then there was the "family party" on Saturday which was a lovely gathering of nearly two dozen close friends and family, a pool, sports, lots of yummy bbq food, banners, balloons and presents.
Lots and lots of presents.
And Sunday, well Sunday was the "nail salon party" chosen by and designed mostly by the birthday girl herself. Ten four year old girls decorated flip flops, beaded bracelets and necklaces, got their fingers and toes painted, danced and sang to Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus (scary, they know ALL the words!), and yes, ate more marshmallows and cupcakes. It was a lovely, lovely day.
I hope you enjoy the photos. It was a fairly simple affair but the girls will remember it forever. Or at least until next year. Here are some of the meager resources we used to pull it off...

I think you need to submit this party to some of the party planning blogs - it's terrific! I wish Zuzu invited me. Next year, next year! Gosh, I can't believe she's 4.
Happy Birthday Zuzu!
