And this is why....
Birthdays are just not my thang. I don't do themes, cakes, big hoop-la etc. I DO give lots of hugs and kisses and tell them their birth story etc. I just can't make myself do anything more than have Chad blow up a bunch of balloons and scatter them on the floor.
When we were discussing Abby's Birthday party--Chad threw out that we should have a lumberjack theme. He was totally kidding, but give us gals an idea and it's a done deal.
Leave it to Shell-Bell to have her entire family dressed up as Lumberjacks, including face painting and accessories. Oh Shell, we love you. (Poor Greg had to go Home Teaching with make-up stubble still on his face. Her eyeliner pencil didn't come off Greg or the kids as easily as she said it would.)
Love Nicole's dark brown eyebrows--so cute.And Kristi's wonderfullness begins with her baking skills. She made this AWESOME flannel shirt cake,,,and it was tasty too. I couldn't find the picture of the Woody cake (Toy Story that is) that she made for one of Cam's birthdays--but it was great--A huge cupcake iced to look like his shirt.
Tell me what little girl wouldn't be thrilled to someday learn that she had a Lumberjack party for her first birthday. Princess parties are SO overrated---just ask Rebekah.
Love you Abby! Love you enough to bake 3 cakes, cut them up, and attempt to make them look like a shirt!
ReplyDeleteWell, in another twenty years Abby should definitely appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI totally want a lumberjack party for my next birthday.
Love the flannel shirt cake. Fun! And I agree with Rebekah that Princess parties are WAY overdone. Not that I'll get out of making some kind of castle or something this year for Audrey. She's already plotting princess stuff.
