Cooking Up Some Fun!

We decided to have Kaylee's party a little early due to it being on Thanksgiving day this year. Therefore Saturday night was the big night for her to celebrate. Kaylee loves to be creative and just have fun so we decided to have a Cooking Party. We started off with having each child make their own mini pizza using biscuits and toppings of their choice. It was so fun to watch them all creating their own masterpiece just the way they liked it.
As you can see from this picture it was all hands on deck as far as helpers to make this party a hit. (Thank you Lindi, Mendy, and Keri for your helping hands.)



While the pizzas were cooking we moved on to the next activity which was having all of them paint their own aprons. Being the responsible parents we did round up a variety of old shirts for the children to wear while painting. (Most of them were from conferences Cary has attended or our ACU days.) It was so quiet in the room while all of the children were trying to decide what to paint and making their ideas real on their aprons you actually could have heard a pin drop. Each of their personalities came alive in their artwork. I just love to watch little minds at work.




Once all the artists were finished we moved the party into the dining room so they could eat their pizza creations. I think Bobby Flay and Rachael Ray would have approved. My sweet husband even put some in the oven for all the adults to
sample too.






After the pizza it was time to move on to the cupcake frosting part of our evening. Kaylee requested some chocolate and funfetti cupcakes so that is what we had. My sweet friend and lifesaver on most days, Lindi, made some yummy homemade frosting in a variety of colors for the children to decorate with. We also had a variety of sprinkles in many colors and even some animal shaped. As you can see they were all business when it came to frosting their cupcakes. We really may have some future Food Network stars on our hands.











At the end of the party came Kaylee's favorite part as you can see on her face...the presents. All of her friends (and their sweet Moms) made sure that Kaylee's Birthday was a hit! She got so many wonderful things and the best of all was just getting to be around so many of her precious friends. These are the times we will remember and cherish forever. Thank you all for being a part of it!

We love you sweet girl and hope the party was all you had dreamed!
