This was the first year where I had a “drop off your kids” party. In the past, I have always done combined birthdays parties for Kiera + Blake, since their birthdays are 8 days apart, and then I’ve invited all the kids of a family + their Moms. I went to town on the streamers. I always do balloons, so I wanted to try streamers this year, since I am really bad at tying balloons. I found out that streamers are a lot more work!
Opening presents
I wanted Kiera to wear her nice new Christmas dress (which I found in the States for $22…sweet!) so she did
I was going to say “all the pretty girls” but then I realized Blake was in there, too
Haley liked the presents as well
I found this tablecloth either at Target or Wal-Mart when I was in the States on my birthday week-end
Once again, I made a gluten-free chocolate cake (love that cake mix) with buttercream icing and it tasted good! Kiera wanted a frog and a sun, so that wasn’t too hard. It wouldn’t win any awards, but I was happy with the finished product.
I made candy apples instead of doing goody bags. Very good but very sticky!
It turned out well. Sometimes I feel bad that I don’t do theme parties, but I sort of had a color scheme with the decorations + cake, so I figured that was good enough. They had fun, so it was a success. Hats off to all you Moms who do fabulous theme parties and are great at decorating cakes! My giftings are different and I’m realizing that’s ok! :)
