My daughter turned seven. The fairy birthday party went well; thirteen fairies arrived, made fairy wreaths, received fairy wands and diplomas, went on a lost fairy hunt, played fairy freeze dance, put on three fairy skits about magic wishes, and enjoyed pizza and Fairytopia ice cream cake.
The theme for this week’s Thursday’s Challenge is CELEBRATION (National Holiday, Independence Day, Commemoration, Party, Fireworks,…).
That cake looks absolutely yummy!
Wishing you a scent-sational day!
Happy birthday to your daughter!
That’s a great looking cake.
This cake just screams CELEBRATION!!!
Great looking cake, and it sounds like the party was a smashing success! Happy birthday to your fairy girl.
My daughter has a list of complaints of things that didn’t go quite as she liked. But I thought it was great.
I wish your daughter a bad memory for the things that went wrong and a great memory for all the fairy magic that went right.
Yes, I wish she did also, Klara. Maybe in twenty years.
What a cake!
Mazal Tov!
A fairy party! Tha’ts imaginative. Who had the idea?
The daughter. Last year it was a ballet party. The year before was a princess party. The games and activities are similar each time; and for the past two years my middle son tells a whole story to the girls and sends them on a hunt. This year he was Farmer Bob with a pitchfork.
You are lucky to have such a cooperative son.
What a beautiful and yummylicious looking cake!
Happy belated birthday wishes!
My daughters are much older, and still demand the Baskin-Robbins b-day cake! Last year, the youngest turned 18…we got her a Disney Princess Cake. Love your snap. The colors are yummy!
What a sweet cake! Sounds like a cute party.
Your list of things they did are sound wonderful.
Oh to be seven and have your life ahead of you:)
It’s a great picture for the theme, Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!
Oh..a very Happy Birthday..it sounds like such a good idea for a girl’s party…I bet she had a wonderful time…
Happy birthday! Did she dress up as a fairy? I remember when my girls were really into fairies. They had this toy where you pulled the string and the fairy went spinning into the air, wings flying.
Cool. So when does it turn off (the love of little kid stuff)? I like this stage. I remember when my oldest son was totally into the Thomas the Tank Engine. Now we are not really sure what he is “into,” other than complicated online computer games and books that none of us adults have ever read.
Orli, who just turned 12 told me the other day I could get rid of her American Girl Doll. I told her NO WAY, that thing cost me 90 dollars, if she’s done with it, I’LL PLAY WITH IT. I would say my kids stopped with the girlie-girlie stuff (Barbies, those tiny little dolls I forget what they are called, etc0 at about 10. But I guess it depends on the kid.
Sorry I am late… Belated Happy Birthday:)
Hey Leora,
Sounds great!! And I LOVE that cake!!
Who wrote the skits?
Like Baila, I found my kids “grew out” of the “little kid” phase around 10 or 11.
The kids wrote the skits themselves. My babysitter and I helped coordinate (or else they would have taken forever).
By now, the leftovers of the cake are still in the freezer, and I wish it were gone. I’m tempted to just toss it…
so what is stopping you??!! I pride myself in finding a home for most everything, peels into the compost (now wormbox), old food for the dog, old bread for breadcrumbs or croutons – but some things just aren’t valuable to keep – you’ve got the pictures and the memories, it’s enough.
Happy late birthday to your daughter, glad to see it was a success!
