Birthday Cards



When it comes time for birthday's for the niece's and nephew's, I try to make them a card of something they are interested in. Since our niece, Elizabeth, is so into Superhero's I decided to make her a Batman card from the Cricut Batman Cartridge I bought a while back. Forgot to take picture of the inside, but used yellow cardstock and had cut out Happy Birthday in blue and glued onto the inside.


For Bailey's I was unsure of what to make for her but was running out of time. Remembered a cute kit I had from Lorie Davidson at Sudio Girl called "Buzi Bugs Birthday" that would be cute for a 2 year old.

Blobbin (Robin) & Fatman (Batman)


We attended a superhero costume birthday party for our nieces, Elizabeth who turned 6 and Bailey who turned 2 (they are cousins). Their birthdays are one day apart so they combined them into one party. My husband and his brother, Elizabeth's dad, decided to go as Batman and Robin...later changing the names to Blobbin (my husband) and Fatman (brother in law). You really have to know that when these two get together you never know what is going to happen. They also dressed my son up as Thor.

On the way to the party I told my husband that he did know that if anything happened he would be going to the ER in this costume. His response was "I will just tell them we were attacked by the Legion of Doom". It is very funny, but I told him that might earn him a trip to the psyhic ward.We had a blast at the party all had a good laugh at them dressed up like superheros. What wonderful memories that these kids will remember forever of how crazy and fun their Dad, Uncle and Cousin made their birthday party. This was not the first time they have done something like this and won't be the last. There is another brother that joins in most of the time but didn't get a chance to this time.

Very Merry UnBirthday

As some of you may know me and my sister in law have been planning to do a Very Merry Unbirthday Party for a local childrens shelter. Well on June 26th we had the party and it was so much fun!

A Couple days before the party we dropped off a gift bag with popcorn and Disney's Alice in Wonderland DVD for the kids to watch to get in the mood for the party.



The kids had a tote bag decorating contest, a fill the teapot using teacup rely race and finally a water ballon fight. The water ballon fight was a welcome relief since the tempatures were near 100 degrees.



We then had cupcakes, teapot & heart cookies, and Kool Aid bottles.























Each child received a gift bag with a camera, photo album, note pad and other Alice themed goodies. They had candy roses and watches that were candy bracelets, all things found around Valentines and bought and saved.


We decorated the table with fun little flowers in teacups and a mouse in a teapot.


It was so much fun! The kids really had a great time. My son can't wait til we do another party for them at Christmas.
