Owen turned 10 this year. We didn't get a chance to do a friend party for him yet. We may still do one sometime in the next couple of months... December was too busy to schedule another party. He got his requested birthday meals, opened presents, and got his own mini cake.
I love how excited he gets opening presents!
Savannah turned 6, and we were able to squeeze in a party for her. She hadn't had a friend party since she was 2 (and she doesn't remember it), so I wanted to make sure we had a party for her this year. She was really excited to invite her new friends from school and church. On her actual birthday, she wanted McDonald's for dinner and a key lime pie.
These are the invitations we sent out for an art themed party (minus the pictures of her).
We did a few different art projects. One was painting on canvas over the first letter of their name. I taped those on with painter's tape. It actually didn't work very well - it seeped in under the edges. But they had fun painting it. We did sponge painting and watercolor pictures with black glue outlines. The watercolor pictures turned out really cute. I should have taken some pictures of those.
Each of the kids got to take home their artwork, apron, a watercolor set, paint palette, and some skittles and starburst. We had carrots, fruit, cheese puffs, rainbow goldfish, and lemonade for snacks.
The cake was fun to do - just required a little more time for baking the layers. There were lots of ooh's and ahh's when the cake was cut. The rainbow layers were pretty cool!
It was a great party! We invited all the girls in her school class, our neighbor and a few other friends. We invited 15 kids, and 10 were able to come - that was perfect!
