Birthday Parties

This is not going to be about teaching. So feel free to move on unless you ever need to throw a birthday party for a child. Then, you should probably stick around.

My daughter Annie turned 5 last Thursday. We had a family party, but then we had her friend's party this weekend from 9 to 11am. I say the time and day because I think people don't think enough about the time they are throwing their party. Have it 11 to 1, must do lunch, have it 4-6 must do dinner. Have it 9 to 11, can do fruit and make your own cupcakes!

I set up centers because, "hey that's how I roll."  It went over really well. I got them in, I got them out, a good time was had by all. Here are the photos.

Yes, that's right. I made an agenda.

The table. Very simple, but so pretty. 

I made fantastic playdough from The Inspired Apple's recipe. Thank you so much! 

 Annie and I made strawberry cupcakes in the morning and then we decorated them.

A nail polishing station, of course. 

We put an old table top down on the kitchen floor for the playdough and cupcake decorating.
Are they beautiful or what?

I just wanted you to see how sexy my hubs is. Aren't I lucky?! 

I'm sending this photo to Snapfish to make thank you cards for Annie to send.

They look like they are headed to South Beach for Cosmos.
