Birthday Preparations

This year for her birthday Makenna wanted to make everything. Invitations and cake included. Being that she selected the theme "Jewels and Glitter" (how girly can you get?!?) I figured I could handle that.

First we made a trip to Michael's and purchased all the supplies for invitations. It was a fun experience but expensive. It probably cost seven times more than a package of regular invitations and that doesn't include the time it takes to make them. But we had fun making them so it was worth it!




I couldn't really figure out a cake and was worried about transporting it to the bowling alley for her party so we settled on cupcakes.... cupcakes with a big sparkly jewel in the middle (ie. Ring Pop) and edible glitter all around the sides!
