I think I'm still riding on the birthday high from this last weekend; I had such an enjoyable time with the girls, family, and friends. Avery turned 4 on Friday and Clara turned 2 on Sunday--we celebrated both birthdays on Saturday. Here are the birthday girls!
Avery requested cupcakes...
And do you remember how I mentioned I was busy sewing something for the birthday bash? Here it is...
a Happy Birthday banner!
My friend, Mel, found this wonderful online tutorial. Let me tell you--it took a while to make but it was so worth it! You should partner up with a friend, as Mel and I did, to make one--it's a fabulous project! I think I'm going to sew one for each of the girls' rooms with their names on it.
Wouldn't that be adorable?
Here are a couple close ups:
Here's another fun birthday idea for you when it comes to favors--give little bags of candy and crayons away! I think the kids loved it!
Clara thoroughly enjoyed the cupcakes...and I must say, they were so easy to make! I'll share the recipe for both the cupcake and frosting in my next post.
(Notice anything different about Clara?? I cut her hair! I think bangs suit her just fine!)
The girls and their cousins.
Well, that's it for this evening, folks. I've been trying to dedicate my nights to taking online CE (continuing education) courses to keep my dental hygiene license current. Though I'm enjoying the articles I'm reading, I'm kicking myself in the pants for procrastinating
staying on top of it like I should have!
So what'll it be for tonight? 'A History and Update on Fluoride Dentifices' or 'Anatomy and Histology of the Gingiva and Basic Oral Hygiene'??? OH, the decisons! lol
Here's to a Happy Tuesday evening!
xoxo,
Pamela
