Otherwise, we wouldn't have even THOUGHT to host a national cake decorating day party!!! (It was on Thursday, by the way. Perhaps you want to mark next year's calendar!)
Gem created the sweetest invitation for the party (fulfilling her role as the INVITATION QUEEN!) and we sent it out to all of the young kids (plus 23 year old Alex) in our complex. Here it is, sweet as ever:
Lucky for us, Barb slept over following Thanksgiving dinner and was able to assist in the execution of the party details. Because, AS IT WOULD HAPPEN, Nory woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning and I was focused on damage control in the minutes leading up to everyone's arrival. (Nory's deal? She wanted to wear a pink dress, but all of her pink dresses were dirty from the previous day. Her wardrobe changes are a story for another post.)
Anyways. Although both of my children were crying prior to the event (teething/pink dress depletion), they managed to snap out of it in time for our little guests and everyone had a wonderful time. The cupcakes they decorated were both BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS :)

| How vibrant are those colours?! A fellow mom lent us her Wilton icing kit and that stuff is LEGIT! |
 |
| Such concentration......with Sofia the First PURPLE! |
 |
| Smiles and cupcakes go TOGETHER :) |
 |
| Unless icing gets on your skin or your shirt....then a napkin is required IMMEDIATELY! |
 |
| Love these two! And speaking of love...Jet digs whipped cream :) |
 |
| Kid parties = chaos. BUT CHAOS makes MEMORIES. (And leaves some icing stains on your chairs!) |
In retrospect, hosting two events (Thanksgiving and this one) within
the same 24 hours was a little ambitious, but Gem and I seem to have
bounds of ambition in the CELEBRATION department. Plus, we take our
agendas seriously and aim to follow every event detailed inside.
Next up?
National Cat Day (October 29th). OH, THE OPPORTUNITIES!!!!!!!
