Sophey celebrated her 9th birthday with her girlfriends Saturday. She wanted to make a banner from the softies kit she got for Christmas. (I only helped her with pinking the white circles and stringing the letters). I think it turned out very sweet.
(This was the best shot I could get on such a cloudy day!)
We started the party by making rainbow cupcakes. I found the recipe on the internet awhile back, and we thought they looked like such a fun idea.
And they were really fun! And super easy. I followed the recipe at celebrations.com They have a great how-to recipe there for you.
While the cupakes baked and cooled, we made a craft project.
I bought little notebooks and the girls covered them in felt art. They all made up their own designs.
They all turned out so darling!!
We played a little Bingo--Jesse and his buddy joined in here.
And then we got down to cupcake decorating business.
They turned out awesome:)
Just like this one... How can she be nine already? It's going by way too fast.
Thanks for celebrating with us!
Love, Kelly
Happy Birthday to Miss Sophey!!!
What a colorful, fun, fun post! I would have LOVED to have had a 9th birthday party like that! So much creativity, from the banners to the crafts to the cupcakes! Lovely from beginning to end!
You're one cool Mom, Kelly!!! :)
