Superbowl Sunday

 My baby has been sick so we decided to hang out at home this year...I didn't have anything planned except have BBQ pork sandwiches. I decided we better whip up a few things! Turkey and pepperoni's on Ritz crackers with mozzarella cheese as the stripes on the football!

 Found some blue and orange straws! My daughter even tied on some blue ribbon to make it a little more festive! So it looked like we tried! :)

 My helper in the kitchen

 Our spread:

 Can't have a Superbowl without little smokies

 Even made the lemonade BLUE...Broncos...OR...Seahawks??!

Watching intently....you know there is a couch behind you??!

Frozen Breakfast

 Let's have a "FROZEN" breakfast to celebrate January is over!! I hate that month!! It is so long and so cold here in Utah! So we welcomed in February with a bang!

 I made a menu and let the girls choose what they wanted on their pancakes for their snowman. It was fun that they were totally different! I also made a snowman kit for them to put together themselves while I was making breakfast! The snowman kit contained: 3 white donuts, 2 m&m's for eyes, a starburst for the nose (we cut off a corner and rolled it), a marshmallow for the tooth, pretzels for the arms and one for the hair to break in tiny pieces, and 3 chocolate chips for the buttons. (and a stick to hold the snowman together)

 My one year old's snowman...didn't turn out how I envisioned but he loved it! haha

 But my 6 year old did a much better job putting hers together! She was so excited to wake up to all of this!

 They made snowflakes as well I made breakfast.

 Here are their choices...

 I just used m&m's for his...he just wnated "cany" aka candy!

 Blue juice and blue jello, with whip cream and sprinkles was a must! We had to celebrate with BLUE!

I even made me a pancake and decorated it like OLAF!!
Farewell "OLAF"!! After my 4 year made her Olaf snowman, she asked how she makes Anna and Elsa! LOL

Grinch Party

 An afternoon with the cousins called for A "GRINCH" party. We made Grinch faces by ripping green pieces of paper for the face and stripes for his hat...not sure why I don't have pictures of the finished ones!

 I bought green tic tacs and found this cute picture to print and glue on.

 We made green gak...1 c. cornstartch and 1 c. water. Add food coloring and boil till desired consistency!

 My 6 year old drew this GRINCH for pin the heart on the Grinch.

 Marshmallows, strawberries, bananas and green grapes to represent :)

 Coloring pages
 Grinch drink....Green sherbet, sprite, with a drop of lime green food coloring

 Served with pizza for a fun night!!

Ballerina Party

 Happy Birthday to my cute 4 year old Ballerina! 

I found these fun tutu's for each of the girls online. Check out Haloheaven.com that's where I got them for about $3 each. Such a fun take home gift for the girls instead of bags full of junk! :) I also made little pink bow out of the pre-made rosettes from Hobby Lobby and glued a few pearls to the middle. I put them all on alligator clips I bought from Sally's.

 Every ballerina loves pink!!

 Hung balloons on a string with a penny in them to keep them from moving around. 

 I made a banner/garland with doiles from Hobby Lobby and folded them in half and then sewed them in a straight line to connect them. I pulled out about 2 feet of thread before I started sewing so I would have so leverage to hang. I just hung it all with push pins!

Love the pink and yellow edible pearls. When I frosted the cupcakes, I didn't even use a tip...just grabbed a zip lock baggie and cut a small hole and wa-la! I started on the ouside edge and went in. If you have super thick frosting and want them taller, start in the middle and work your way out :)

 Party included: A bounce house

 Game: Pass the ballet slipper to music

 Activity: Learning some new ballet moves

 Picture posing of all the girls with their new tutu's. I later sent pictures to each of the girls via Facebook.

Birthday banner using paint sample cards and a cricket. I used vinyl so I didn't have to glue and paste but you could use regular paper too!
