Simple Graduation

The brother-in-law graduated college.  Just a little something to say Congrats.

Cowgirl Birthday

My daughter is going through a horse phase.  So for her 9th Birthday we had a Cowgirl Party.  This was actually a Gluten AND Egg free cake so it stayed in the pan (or it would fall apart).  Here are the details about the party:

The dinnerware:  Pie plates, bandana napkins, and more

My uncle gave me an unused "disco" pinata he had.  I transformed him into a cowboy.

"Hay Stack" Rice Treates

"Cow Pattyies" (Star Crunch) and old fashioned candy

The "Chuck Wagon" served chili with lots of toppings and a variety of snacks.

Complete with Wagon Wheels (covered hula hoops)

The Saloon

Yum!

The Activities:

Uno Moo for the little ones

Decorate your own bandana (with fabric markers)

That Pinata

Horseshoes

Cowgirl Pictures

And of course Line Dancing

I think she had a great time :)

Election 2012

We take elections seriously around here.  We hold watch parties for the big ones.  This was a big one.  And a sad one.  Sorry.  It's true :P

Hello Kitty Cake

My 4 year old is obsessed with Hello Kitty.  I'm super busy these days, so I was only planning on making these simple "cheater" cupcakes...

But I REALLY wanted to try Hello Kitty.  So this was what I threw together. Not my most symmetric work...but hey.  Gianna loved it :)

4 years old!!!

A "Blue" 1st Birthday for a Girl???

Yes.  That's right.  I threw a blue birthday for my baby girl.  She has the most beautiful blue eyes and she looks so lovely in blue.

Here is the cake:

Chess Birthday

My son is absolutely obsessed with the game of Chess right now. So for his 6th birthday I made him a chess board.

The Birthday Boy:

Oh.  And this is how I roll!
