Birthday Box

Like I said before I have been called into the Primary Presidency now, and I have came up with this idea for the birthday handouts.

Take a balloon

Some Candy

A sticker

Wrap with tissue paper and stuff inside a box.

Look! You have just created a Paper Birthday Cake. Now each child can come up and grab a slice of cake filled with yummies. What a TREAT! (sorry I ran out of ribbon thats why the top 1/2 only has it)

Here is the template that I found on line. Hope it helps in your cake decorating. If you google paper cakes, there are tons of designs that pop up. You can make them elaborate as you want. Mine are pretty simple due to budget issues.

Who Knew?

All month we have been preparing for our church's R.S. Birthday Celebration. Tonight was finally the BIG night. Our Activity Organizer, Sis. Gubler, came up with the idea of wanting to play Family Feud. I love games, so of course I was on board with this idea. She put me in charge of coming up with a gift to give the sisters.
What I came up with was an owl necklace. We had 3 different designs to choose from. When they wear them they can always remember "who" they came from and "who" their sisters are. I will have a tutorial on how to make these later.
Then for refreshments Sis. Gubler found these cute little owl cupcakes in a magazine. They followed along perfectly with our "Who" theme.
We even made a bunch of little owls too
We combined everything on one table. That way when they came up to get their dessert they could also pick out their gift.
Instead of calling our game Family Feud we called it "Who Knew" Hear is Sis. Gubler as the Host and me as Vana White. Yes, I know Vana is on Wheel Of Fortune, but somebody had to pull the answer cards off and keep score
For our teams we have the COOL KIDS (who ended up being our winners)
and the ROCKIN' SOCKIN' RELIEF SOCIETYOnce we started it got competitive REAL quick. Melanie means business. She is determined to hit that buzzer first. I didn't know these ladies could get so vicious.
What? Sis. Daniel only got 4 out of the 50 votes for, "Name a sister in our Ward?" Come on people she is our Relief Society president. She should have been the #1 answer.
People kept arguing some of the answers. But Sis. Gubler is like, "Hey don't blame me. I didn't make these answers up. I called all of you! This is what y'all came up with"
The highlight of my whole night was when Rose came up to play. She was so quick to buzz the buzzer and then froze. She couldn't remember her answer for anything. She kept blaming it on old age. It was the sweetest and funniest thing of the whole night. I Love her to death. Sis. Daniel had to end up coming up and telling her an answer in her ear because she could never come up with one.

I have to say all of our hard work paid off. We had such a fun time. I love when I am able to get together with all of these wonderful ladies. "Who Knew" they could be such fun?

Now remember the question....Do you know "Who" you are? I can never forget "Who" my sisters are. They always bring a smile to my face.

Under Sea Party

I usually don't throw birthday parties, but I have decided that I would probably throw one for my kids this year. I went to Party City 2 months ago and bought all of their Under The Sea party decor. I know that it was December and my kids birthday isn't until August, but I couldn't let things go by me that were 90% off. That is a steal! I have stashed everything in my closest just waiting for the perfect time to pop out for the summer. Well, as I was blog surfing I came across CupKate's Event Designs. She is very talented and AmAzInG! She threw this beautiful party and took pictures of all the details she created. Of course I fell madly in love with it right away, because HELLO it already matched the theme I was going to do. Thank You CupKate you have taken all the hard work out of my party planning. I had to put you on my blog so I wouldn't loose your post in fabulous blog world. Thank You
