A Dora Birthday Fiesta

Tomorrow, our baby turns THREE!!! I cannot believe that it has been three years.

Because we had family in town last week, we decided to throw her a birthday party a little early. Her request? A Dora the Explorer party.

Since this was an evening get together, we did a taco bar and other Mexican food...

I made the little menu cards using images I found on the web and CoopHeavy font, printed on cardstock. 

These are my favorite paper straws! You can purchase them from my friend, Melissa of Twigs & Twirls here

AND you can get 10% off of her already-reasonable prices with coupon code BEBE10 (expires May 31, 2014). Woot woot!

The kids also played "Pin the tail on Swiper"

Opened presents

And had cake!

Each kid got to take home "Dora's backpack"

Complete with stickers, fruit snacks, a balloon, crayons and a coloring page

It was a fun evening with yummy food, great family & friends and fun!

What are your kids requesting for their birthday theme this year?
