Jordis' Birthday Party

This year Jordis invited some friends over for a cupcake decorating party. She had wanted some invitations at Factory Card Outlet that I refused to buy because they cost a ridiculous $8. Then I spent $19 buying the supplies to make her some invitations. Crazy, I know. But mine were cuter. The ones she wanted had turqouise frosting and they just didn't look very little-girlish.






The first thing we did was play Pin the Cherry on the Cupcake. Then we opened presents. Jordis got some really nice gifts.

Then we put on the aprons I made and decorated some cupcakes.



After the cupcakes were complete everyone had a box to take them home in so they could share them with their families.

Then we capped off the afternoon with cake and ice cream. Jordis picked mint chocolate chip, just like her brother. She didn't want anyone singing to her though, so she hunkered down in her chair.



Xander enjoyed the day, too.

And now, we are thankful that their birthdays don't roll around for another 11 months.

WOW! Heather, that party is perfect. LOVE the invitations you made. Too, too cute! And those aprons. Oh, my goodness. How did you make them? I LOVE them! The cake is ridiculous too. So awesome. Did you even make that?

What a fun idea for a party and everything looks so cute! Even the thoughtful boxes to take cupcakes home! Great job. I am sure Jordis had a blast!
