Sweet Six Birthday Extravaganza!

Whew. Saturday was so fun, but it was insane. I threw a party for Ellie's little friends for her 6th birthday. The theme was 'sweet six'. I found the most amazingly cute 3 tiered cake pan, and baked up 14 mini cakes for the little girls to decorate with homemade colored frosting. We played candy bingo. We made our own mini pizzas. We played musical chairs. We had a candy buffet. Chris helped me make an AMAZING banner for the candy buffet. It was a lot of work, but it was so fun, and everything went really smoothly. Chris and I agreed that we are only going to do this kind of massivepartyplanningcraziness every other year. My hunny bunny was an fabulous help, running errands, helping me get things cleaned, organized and ready, and keeping calm when I was a spinning top. It was a great party. Ellie was so pleased. She kept telling me, 'Mama, thank you for making my party so special' she melts my heart. Happy Birthday to my little sweet 6 year old!
