The celebration channeled the 1978 Sidney Lumey musical movie “The Wiz” with little Kaavia dressed as the adorable Dorothy.

As expected, proud mother Union shared several snaps of the elaborate event on her Instagram story. The colorful decorations and costume dancers were the least of the side attractions at Kaavia’s birthday party.
