T Stands for Happy Fourth Birthday



The Grandniece celebrated her 4th birthday with an island/Moana themed party. Guest could wear leis and grass skirts.

Grandpa (my Brother) showing his beverage of sparkling water. I liked the blue bottle


Lunch: cheese pizza (I skipped the Hawaiian, and pepperoni pizzas) salad, honey chicken bites. There were also Buffalo chicken bites. I went back to get some tortilla chips


Moana was playing on the big screen. A little man cave with a tool bench has joined the happy, little teapot kitchen. Gifts galore!


I had a chocolate cupcake with raspberry filling, fluffy raspberry frosting, and mini chocolate chips or Jimmies (chocolate sprinkles). I like how the pink flamingo is holding its legs in a number 4.

What a fun themed party idea for your grandniece, and I love the flamingo legs as a 4 very clever. Happy T Day! Elle/EOTC xx

I don't know if the flamingos were purposefully chosen for the number, but I thought it was clever, too

What a fun birthday party theme! The cupcakes look and sound fabulous! Was hoping for the picture of you with a grass skirt!

That water bottle is beautiful! Wow. I would definately have gone for the Hawaiian pizza - my fave.

Happy T-day, CJ! Hugz

I like Moana. I've seen it once, and it's a great film for birthday inspiration. Sounds like this was a dream party for a 4 year old, and fun for you to see family too. I wonder if parents still do those expensive go out type parties that were big when my daughter was little. We never did one, but she certainly went to enough of them. Happy T day CJ. (I love how that rhymes so I have to write it ever Tuesday.)

This is such a fun party theme, and the food sounds (and looks) perfect for it. Happy T Tuesday!

My Brother and I were disgusted with the Hawaiian pizza. As Italians, Hawaiian pizza is a mortal sin. Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza. ðŸ˜ļI would have needed 2 or 3 of the grass skirts to go around me ðŸ˜ļ Besides, I don't like having my picture taken.

CJ Kennedy said...

That's my favorite shade of blue

CJ Kennedy said...

Yup, parents still do those types of parties. I've seen adverts for different party events on my town's Facebook page. The latest one is a slumber party with each child having their own canopy tent to sleep in complete with cushions and fairy lights. My girlies went to several of those fancy parties. We didn't have them either, mainly because both my girls had Summer birthdays so no one was around

CJ Kennedy said...

It was a fun theme that was appealing to adults and kids. The adults saw it as a Hawaiian luau and Moana for the kids. Food was an easy catered affair, too

The cupcake toppers 'announcing' the age is very clever! 😉

Linda Kunsman said...

CJ Kennedy said...

Oh my, that's looks like a fun birthday party and wow, so many gifts 😀. I bet your grand-neice had such a wonderful time, the food and cupcakes look delicious too. Where does the time go, how can she be four already! Happy T Day! Hugs Jo x

Valerie-Jael said...

Looks like a wonderful celebration, happy birthday to the little princess! Valerie

CJ Kennedy said...

A cookie cake sounds wonderful!

CJ Kennedy said...

I can't believe she's 4 already. she loved her party. From my SIL (grandma) she had pretend birthday parties the week before as a dress rehearsal to the real thing ðŸ˜ļI think there was also a little party at her preschool, too

CJ Kennedy said...

Thank you. The Other Little Princess had a great time at her party. It's good to be 4

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I've never heard of Moana, but I enjoyed the party. Fun for adults and children of all ages, too. That cupcake tower was gorgeous and so was the flamingo, which I thought was a real show stopper.

Nice that your brother shared his water. I love that blue color, too. Thanks for sharing the party, the food, the decorations, and the water with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.

Kate Yetter said...

We love Moana in our house. What a great theme for a kids party. Those raspberry filled cupcakes sound delicious.
Happy Tea day,
Kate

CJ Kennedy said...

The Brother had no choice but to share his water. As he went by, stop! I need a picture! ðŸ˜ļ

CJ Kennedy said...

The cupcakes were to die for. There were other flavors, too, but I didn't go back to sample those. I should have!

DVArtist said...

Now this looks like a fun party. I love the cupcake tower. Have a lovely day.

Darla said...

It looks like a fun set up for a party. I am another one impressed witht he flamingo cup cake toppers. I am kind of fond of flamingo's anyhow, they are so extravagently silly looking.

Lady Caer Morganna said...

Oooohhhh, those cupcakes! Looks like a lovely celebration!

Sandra Cox said...

How fun:)

Sharon Madson said...

Oh, my goodness that cupcake looks good! How fun to have an island birthday party. Happy T Day!

Carola Bartz said...

Kids' birthdays are always so much fun. How lovely that you could join your grandniece for hers.

Rajani Rehana said...

Lovely post

Iris Flavia said...

Your Niece sure is a happy and lucky girl and your post left me hungry!

sandy said...

It looks like a very colorful birthday for her. The food looks delicious and I would have have gobbled down the pepperoni pizza. Happpy birthday to her - four is a cute age. I have four kids and nine grandkids to prove that statement, lol

CJ Kennedy said...

The cupcake tower was so pretty and a great idea for portion control

CJ Kennedy said...

I saved my cake topper. Maybe it will show up in some future artwork

CJ Kennedy said...

The raspberry chocolate was delicious. I wish I went back to sample the other flavors

CJ Kennedy said...

It was

CJ Kennedy said...

It was a prefect theme as the Birthday Girl got Moana pajamas from her Grammy

CJ Kennedy said...

Yes, I'm glad the Nephew and his Wife included us

CJ Kennedy said...

😊

CJ Kennedy said...

T Day posts do that. I'm always so hungry after reading everyone's T Day post ðŸ˜ļ

CJ Kennedy said...

I remember ages 4 and 5 as being so magical for my girlies

Bridget Larsen said...

That would. have been a wonderful party, what gorgeous colours

CJ Kennedy said...

the bright colors were so welcome as Spring has been slow to start here.

sandy said...

best of ages. the cutest conversations can be had with a kid when they are four - that's the time in my memory all the questions started ...what is this for, why is that this way, why do you look old and what are those spots on your skin. they are just so charming at that age.
