Flashback: Jaylyn’s Birthday Party

I never got to post pictures from Jaylyn’s Cooking Birthday Party Sleepover.  It was crazy, but fun!

I bought some cheap hand towels from the Dollar Tree and ribbon and made these REALLY EASY aprons for the girls in about 10 minutes!  (I added some leftover yarn balls from Rachel’s Shower!)

Here they are ready to cook!

Here they are ready to have some crazy cooking fun!

They helped make everything.  For supper, they had a “make your own” pasta bar.

They also made their own garlic/cheese bread.

There were also fruit wands and they made a yogurt dip.

Yum!

Some helped to make some puppy chow for a snack and others helped make the cupcakes.  Here is Jaylyn getting ready to blow out her candle. (Some of them are in dress up clothes and makeup from some play or something they were doing.)

All snuggled in for bed!  I caught them off guard with this picture.  It was already dark in there and the flash stirred them all up again!

For breakfast they made their own smoothies and monkey bread. 

I think I’m still tired from that sleepover even though it was back in January.  :-)

Awana Commencement

Here are some shots from the end of year Awana Commencement.  The kids always love getting their plaques and ribbons for all of their hard work through the year.  They have learned much about God’s Word and hidden many great verses in their heart!

Adley waiting for her ribbon!  (I couldn’t get a shot of the cubbies.)  Adley will be moving into Sparks next year!

Jaylyn waiting for hers.

The full Sparks group.  Jaylyn will move in to TNT next year (Truth-in-Training)

The Big Picture

The two older girls performed in the Hiz Kidz Choir Spring Program.  It was a cute program and I had fun helping them out this year.   A friend also uploaded a video of one of the songs.  You can see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oiq4dX3M30&feature=g-upl
