Sophia requested an art party for her 8th birthday party. She loves arts and crafts (and so do I), so this party suited her well and I was happy to put it together for her!
(Most of these ideas came from Pinterest!)
The cake was super easy, and I got the idea here: http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/melted-rainbow-cake/9150c1ed-296b-44c1-b181-071f63d5b529
We started the party with a little bit of chalk art.
Then we started our first project, which was fairy lanterns.
We stopped for a game of Twister.
Then we started our next project...painting and decorating the first letter of the girls' names.
Cake time! Happy Birthday to you, my sweet girl!
One of the girls suggested that they all smash the cake in their faces. It was very funny! :)
Sophia's friends were so excited to give her the gifts they brought. So sweet.
Sophia had such a great time at her party! It's so great to have sweet friends!
