Just remembered that I have a blog. Oooohhh, fun!
It's the day before Marshmallow's birthday and we're getting ready for
a fun birthday party. For various reasons I feel that I have spent the
last few years doing birthdays minimally. I still like this idea, but as I was
praying about the new year, 2012, I felt a renewed desire,which I believe is from God, to celebrate my "snacks" on their special days. This cannot mean more money to me, since
I don't have more, but that I convey a message from God to them. And that is
that they are special, important, worth celebrating, that they are "fearfully
and wonderfully made", that they were "knit together" in their mother's womb.
So, we chose to celebrate Marshmallow and Jelly Bean with a partaaay!
Here is a picture diary of our prep and partaaay.
Icing for the cupcakes
Sorry about the crummy photos.Icing the cookies for the party favors.
Cupcakes. We took these to the park, along with our icing, sprinkles,
and candy so that we could decorate them.
One of our party activities. Fun!
The finishes cookies. We put them in little baggies
as part of our party favors. We also put in homemade
heart shaped crayons, a few coloring pages, and a paper heart
quoting Psalm 139:14.
The birthday girl in the morning.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you....
A gift from her sister. Too sweet.
Me and some of my snacks.
The party set up.
We celebrated at a park near our house.
Our food buffet. I didn't take a picture until the kids had already gotten their food.
That's why it looks a bit picked over.
Some partyers.
I like my new barbie.
Marshmallow's cupcake. I love that face!
Jelly Bean's cupcake.
Present time. Since we haven't done too many parties for her this
was a real treat. She has so many sweet, thoughtful friends who
blessed her with wonderful gifts.
Look at the excitement on that face! She loves birthdays and gifts.
