ROY G BIV Party

Oh yes time for another birthday party.  It felt like we had just taken down the castle from last years shindig and here it was time to throw another party.  It was a little tougher to pick a theme this year because the girls were all over the board with their ideas.  The one thing that they could both agree on was that crafts were fun.  So we went on a job down memory lane and thought about a color and craft theme.  You wouldn't believe how many people didn't know what the acronym stood for and if you are one of those people reading this right now I suggest the power of google.
The party was a great success and took a ton of work!  We had about 40 people attend which was way too many when you consider how hot it was outside and everyone was floating around the house.  There were kids ranging from newborn to fourteen and enough crafts to entertain an army.
Thankfully I had an army of help before the party started because there were a ridiculous amount of balloons and streamers to hang, snacks to make and crafts to organize.

Oh yes, old school link paper chains.

All of the colors for the cake which turned out great. 

Play-doh, scissors, glitter, pipe cleaners, glue, sequins, feathers, paint, crayons, markers and so much more to play with.  Each child made a wood frame that they were able to take home.

Grr made us wraps for the party.

Colored marshmallow pops, paintbrush pretzel sticks and sugared up drinks.

Paintbrush rice krispy treats.

White chocolate drizzled popcorn with rainbow sprinkles and a ROY G BIV fruit platter.

We colored different shaped noodles so that the kids could make their own jewelry.  

Special appearance from the Delta puppy dog.

Kids everywhere!

Sometimes paint happens...

Our guest helper was making her own jewelry too.

Balloon walls and the fab cake that we were all so proud of.

Savannah was serious about her work.

We had two canvases and asked each guest to paint a little something for both A and P to keep in their rooms.

Time to cut the cake.

So excited that this turned out and that it didn't fall over until the very end of the cutting.  6 layers of homemade yumm with cool whip icing.  

 Some people didn't make it to the end of the party without a nap, my 5 year old partied until the very end until she literally crashed.  After a quick rest it was time to put A's favorite gift together and play a little basketball before the furniture returned to the appropriate rooms.

Obviously I have a pinterest problem, that little website has caused my family and I a whole lot of extra work.  In my opinion this years party took the cake and I was very proud to have everyone in my home to celebrate my two favorite girls.
