Star Wars Birthday ideas

My son turned 7 this last week, and so we did a birthday party for him on Saturday!

It was actually so much fun....and the weather couldn't have been more perfect!

I did a light saber out of cupcakes.

You can't really see, but the bottom 3 have grey frosting and the rest are green!

And these were a huge hit! They absolutely loved them!
I just took swimming noodles, cut them in half and wrapped black and silver duct tape around the bottom!

They had so much fun with them!!

We had a couple of surprise guests come and fight the Jedi nights!

The first was Darth Vader!!!

Very Scary!!

And the second guest was Yoda!!

Not quite as scary!!

I actually made this costume several years ago when my son was this size!

Then we did the Darth Vader pinada!!

The kids had a lot of fun doing different games with the light sabers.

We also played freeze tag with star wars stickers. The person that was it, had a sheet of stickers and if you got tagged with a sticker you had to freeze until another player pulled off your sticker!

So much fun!!

Snowman birthday

Last year for my daughter's 8th birthday we did a really fun snowman themed party.
Of coarse, I had no idea that a year later I would be doing a craft blog, so the pictures don't show everything as well as I would like, but they will do!

Here is the cake...

Food!

This was super fun, I labeled all the food, they were all parts of a snowman.
And the spoons you see on the plate in the back, were spoons I dipped in chocolate and added 3 mini marshmallows to make a snowman, and the white ones, I dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled crushed candy cane on it.
Then they got to chose which kind they wanted for their hot chocolate!

Enjoying some snacks!

In the center of the table, I did some cute party favors, which were hot cocoa mixes, marshmallows, chocolate chips, candy canes, and a cute poem on the top...which for the life of me I can't fine....but you get the picture!
Also, in this picture they were each making a snowman out of cotton balls and pre-cut shapes.

We played pin the carrot nose on the snowman.

This was a super fun game, we had 2 teams and they both had a roll of toilet paper, and had to dress one of their teammates like a snowman by wrapping them in T.P., and then adding all the accessories on. The first team done won!

The first team!

The second team!

Rainbow birthday cake

This week I wanted to show some fun ideas for Birthday parties.

If you want ideas for a puppy party, check out my post Here

So today, I wanted to show how to make a rainbow cake!
My daughter wanted a care bear theme, but care bears are super hard to find these days, so I went a lot with the rainbow them.

For this cake, I took two white cake mixes and followed the box instructions.
Then I spooned the batter into 6 different bowls.
Then with food coloring make each bowl a different color of the rainbow.
(I wish I would have taken a picture, but it was a crazy day)

Then one by one, I baked each color and then frosted in between each layer.

It was time consuming, but it turned out really good!

And it made my daughter super happy!

Tomorrow, I will show how I made her cute rainbow outfit!
