Birthday Galore

What a crazy fortnight it has been. Our daughters are 8 days apart in birthdays and with hubby on shift work the only way we could have parties for them both without clashing with Daddy's roster was to have them back to back. So we had a sleepover slumber party on the Sat night for 6 gorgeous 4 & 5 year old girls and the next morning we had our youngest daughter's 1st birthday bash. Everyone told us we were absolutely crazy but it actually worked out really well and we were surprised by how smoothly everything went. I think having an extra supportive hubby certainly helps get through all the cooking and setting up!

Of course I couldn't help myself but decorate madly. I made the lolly bags using Bags, Tags and More with the Cricut. I made my daughter's 1st birthday hat with some left over papers, flowers and of course bling and i made the girls each a name banner using the Collections banners. I just swapped the names over for the parties. Here are a few pics from our weekend.

And we had so much fun making the food - especially the cakes. I made my daughter a '5' cake for her actual birthday and lots of individual character cupcakes for bub's birthday. They were so much fun! Rhonda's daughter Renee is such a sweetie - she made Seekara an awesome barbie cake for her slumber party. The girls loved it.

On top of that Rhonda and I made a canvas for the Newman Mainstreet fundraising night which was an Arty Fart theme. We decided to make a 12 inch canvas with a Newman theme. We were really happy with the result and especially happy with the money it raised for the auction. Hubby and work even pitched in and made some things to donate. Darryl's chimera fetched an awesome amount for the auction. He was really pleased with it.

Now we can slow down a bit in the second week of school holidays. The mad birthday season is over and winter sports are drawing to a close. Looking forward to summer....
