H's 9th birthday party

My day of updates!! We had H's party today. And boy was it fun and a mad house! We had a cupcake decorating party. I think we had over 30 different toppings that the girl's could put on their cupcakes. They all went to town! We also had about 4 more girls show up that we weren't expecting so it was a busy busy day. H had a blast, everyone loved their cupcakes, and they all went home on a sugar high! I'm sure the parents are loving me today!!!

When the girls first got here I asked if they needed help icing their cupcakes and they looked at me like I had snakes growing out of my head. They were like, " We're old enough to do it ourselves" so I stepped back and watched them go to town. I really do forget how old they are and how mature they are getting. They are almost done with 3rd grade!!!

And I'm also sending out a super HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tracey's little one, Lucy, who had her party today as well!!! :)

What an awesome party! It looks so cool - I admire your Betty Crocker prowess with those cupcakes. Me? I ordered a cake from a bakery and rented space at Ready Set Play.

Which may or may not have a direct correlation to my daughter's utter and total dismay with the celebration.

sigh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY H!!!!

Holy Updates, Batman! That's a lot of updates in one day. Love it!

Maggie had a great time today. Maggie is still talking about her cupcakes from today. She loved the sugar!

I got a little choked up watching H with her friends this morning. I couldn't get the image of her in her green dress holding her Purple Baby from her first birthday. How is it that she is now nine? And what an incredible young lady she is turning out to be. Love her so much.

Love you too!!

You are super creative for throwing that kind of party. I never would have thought of it! I also don't think I would be as brave! My daughter is 4 and I know that 9 will come sooner than I think! I will have to keep that idea in mind. It looks like everyone had fun! Way to go!
