Caramel's birthday landed pretty close to Easter this year. She thought it was a good idea to have an egg themed birthday party with family friends. We invited 6 other families to join in the celebration.
First we decorated egg sugar cookies, it was rather ridiculous how the kids just poured on the sprinkles. All of the cookies just had a mountain of sprinkles on them. I wrote each kids name on their plate but they frosted and sprinkled their name too. Then the kids decorated bags for the piñata candy. After that we went into the front room and did some egg games. Each kid got a boiled egg to play with. We did a race with spoon in mouth, egg on spoon. Another one was rolling your egg to the finish line with your nose or face, no hands. Last one was rolling your egg from the line towards an object with out hitting the object, closest egg wins. Last activity, we had an egg hunt to find the piñata. The kids went back and forth in a herd throughout the house from egg to egg with each clue. I have never had the desire to be responsible for a piñata, so Anthony was in charge of that portion. It had to be in the garage because of the rain.
For dinner it was hot dogs, apples, oranges, and grapes. Chocolate cupcakes after singing to the birthday girl.
Caramel asked for a skateboard for her birthday. It was an out of the blue gift. I had never heard her ask or talk about wanting one. Anthony bought her a longboard. I wanted to get her new bedding, so I got this cute pinkish quilt from Target with animals on it including a hedgehog and owl and a purple soft blanket. (One just like the one she steals from our bed because it is so snuggly.)
Can't believe Caramel is 7. She is a great help with Camellia and her other siblings. She is still in the 80% area for height and weight. In her room, Caramel enjoys organizing all her crafts and papers. She loves to have a notebook with paper in it to work on whatever. Lately it has been to make charts on what characters people like from Frozen.
