Adie and Joya's cupcakes and canvas birthday party

5/3/2016

0 Comments

 
I don't know why I haven't done this before.. but when you have two daughters that are 2 years and 10 days apart, you have a birthday party double header in ONE day! 

We did my 7 year old's party from 1-3pm and my eldest daughter's 9 year old party from 3:30-5:30pm! I stuck with the same theme for both...

Cupcakes and Canvases

I had the privilege of using my professional artist step-mom, Susie, as the teacher.  This was actually a very cost-effective party. I had a friend do the cupcakes, purchased all my table items and decorations at the Dollar Tree and used my 40% off coupon at Micheal's' to purchase the 8x10 canvases for $12 for 10 of them. And the ONLY place that (the right) washable paint is at is Target. My (handy) hubby used scrap wood out of his stash to make each girl their very own easel. They took the easel and canvas home as the party favor. 

It was an exhausting day but I'll be doing the birthday party double header again in the future!

I usually keep snacks simple..

Here's a pic of the easels my hubby whipped up. The girls were in awe that they got to take them home!

My step-mom drew the butterflies on the canvases first.. that really helped with time.

My hubby has ALWAYS done crazy things with his tongue when he's concentrating. My Joya got this gene from him!

Here's a picture of the end result! Aren't they amazing artists!?!?!?

Half an hour break in between the two parties to clean out brushes and sweep up the cupcake crumbs. Onto my 9 year old's party!

Not quite sure why my Adie-girl picked a penguin.. but she did! And it was adorable!

My eldest daughter is more quiet and laid back... most of the time she's more mature than I am. I LOVE it when I get a laughing picture of her like the one below. Just love it!

Well that's an amazing penguin painted by a four year old,  if you ask me!

Joya and a buddy obviously thought it was appropriate to change into a leo and sombrero for the 2nd party. 
​Didn't they do amazing with their paintings?

And here's a self-portrait of what I'm always doing at the girls' parties! Documenting all the fun!

Thanks for visiting, guys!
