It's A Birthday Party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
My youngest daughter celebrated her 9th birthday this week. She decided that she wanted to have a Unicorn cake. How was I going to pull that off? I found a horse head cake pan at a craft store, and decided to give it a try. I made a horn out of an ice cream cone and just covered it with icing. I think it turned out pretty good, and she loved it. I made a rainbow out of cupcakes just in case there wasn't enough cake.


For snacks, we had whale crackers, mini dill pickles, pigs in a blanket, and rice crispy treats. We added sticks, and drizzled white chocolate and sprinkles on the rice crispy treats. They looked cute, and tasted good too!



My birthday girl decided that she wanted a pinata.


We had crafting time. The girls all made their own headband. We had a rainbow theme going so we made rainbow colored hearts and hot glued them to the headband (pictured below). Another craft was a rainbow painted picture frame (not pictured).



We have an inflatable moonwalk for small kids, so it really came in handy for the party.

Treat bags consisted on rainbow colored treats - crayons and skittles.

Birthdays come around way to quickly for me. I can't believe she's 9 already. 


Big Sis volunteered to do the face painting.
Happy Birthday My Sweet Girl!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG

This is my first official post. I'm a little nervous about blogging because I'm not really tech savvy, but I have a sixteen year old daughter that can help me along the way (whew!) I will be posting different things such as homeschool projects and ideas, crafts, home decorating projects, my thoughts, my faith, and inspiring quotes, images, and tutorials. I hope you enjoy this little nesting box, and hope to grow and learn with each post.

Thanks for stopping by.
