This party was thrown for my daughter’s 4th birthday.  She requested a Strawberry Shortcake party with an Alex’s Strawberry Lemonade Stand.  We used Strawberry Shortcake as an inspiration and incorporated other colors and a “Strawberry Taylor” which was a caricature created by my sister, Abbey, of Abbey Malcolm Letterpress + Design.   The birthday girl had only one activity on her list of activities for the party and that was a “keyata” or pinata with Miss Strawberry Shortcake herself on it.  That was easy enough with a quick trip to Party City.   It rained almost the entire party (until the end) but the parents and children didn’t mind at all, hey, water balloons and a pool = wet anyway and it definitely beats the heat!
