Gingerbread Party and More

After the hotel, everyone came back to our house to play outside and have a little birthday party for Emma.

A favorite activity of the kids is tackling!








They think it is so fun to climb on this house.


Emma's 6th birthday!



She's waiting patiently for her cake!


The next morning we tried to get to my parent's house relatively early for the gingerbread party my mom had for the kids! Isn't the table so cute? Can you see how each child had their own personalized placemat?




She got them all these matching gingerbread pjs. The plan was to have them spend the night and then wake up and have this party. Unfortunately there was some illness making the rounds so a few of the activities had to be scratched. But they still looked cute in their PJs!


She also got them these gingerbread headbands. Hilarious!



Yummy breakfast! See the cute drink glasses there on the front of the table?


After reading a book about the gingerbread man, each sibling group got to decorate a gingerbread house.











They FILLED our house!


The finished product.


What a cute party, huh? So glad my kids were invited! :)

It would have been terrible if your sibling pair were left off the invitation list! ;) It is also a bummer that the slumber party was cancelled... a night off? Whoa! Everything looks lovely and sweet - as usual!

You got some fun photos. When you get a chance send me what you have. We sure had a fun time with all of you and the kids still talk about their cousins.

That party is just dripping with creativity! Makes me wish I were 5 years old too! Your mom certainly knows how to throw a party...everything is so coordinated and well-planned!
