We had Violet's small birthday gathering over the weekend at the Castle near our home. The Castle we found out was built in 1870 for a local doctor's Summer Home. It one of the beautiful treasures found in our City so we took advantage of having it there. There was even a tent there already set up when we arrived in the morning. We had a Fairy and Gnome theme. After everyone arrived they set off into the woods to find items for their Fairy and Gnome Home. Everyone got very into it. Even the older cousins who I thought might be "too cool" seemed to have fun. The birthday menu included local bagels and coffee, three homemade quiches, many of the ingredients from our garden, and an amazing mushroom cake ( which I outsourced). The favors were handmade Fairies and Gnomes ( thank you for helping Shelly and Bonnie) and Fairy Wands. Violet had a blast and was talking about it all day. Thank you to all of her cousins and closest friends for joining us in celebrating her third trip around the sun!

Thanks for all the comments. It was simple, but sweet party. The children got outside, used their imagination and VV most of all enjoyed the time spent with all of her friends and cousins. Oh and they liked the cake too of course!
