7th Birthday Party



This is a second try at this post. I made the mistake of publishing pictures of other people's children without their permission and that my daughter reminds me Just Isn't Done. So with apologies to those parents, here is the party with just the birthday girl and her family.


When you are 7, a snaggled tooth grin is the very best kind!


Cake was individual cake pops in a sheep design. Only one problem: those little sugar balls of "wool" went all over the floor with our first bites.




Oooohs and aaaahhhs and "awesome" when the Mintos dropped into the Diet Coke and bubbles fizzed up everywhere.


Butterfly mask was a fun gift.



Mom held the candle on the sheep cake pop and we all sang Happy Birthday to a delighted girl.







New pink sheets and Princess comforter "lit up the room".




Birthday dinner after the party was chosen by the girl herself as is tradition in the family.



We had chips and dips from the party; cucumbers, carrots, black olives, tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries, apples, ham and cheese. For dessert, more cake pops or red velvet cupcakes with Dad's special cream cheese icing. Oh, and Pickles! Don't forget the pickles - sliced for the family, whole for the celebrant. Happy Birthday, dear granddaughter!

Good pictures! It's hard to believe she's seven already. I remember my visit to you and Michelle when she was first born.

Lovely photographs! And the list of food is amazing. Red velvet is my daughter’s favorite cake also, we made a Rapunzel red velvet cake for her 7th birthday last year and we also decorated one of the San Francisco event venues like a castle.
