To start, I wanted to share some pictures of Sarah's 5th birthday party from February. Steve had the idea of doing a pajama party and I have to give him all the credit in the world because it was a lot of fun to plan and the girls loved it!
Here is the birthday girl on her big day!
We asked each of the girls to wear their favorite PJs to the party and they did not disappoint, with some of them arriving in robes & slippers to match! It was so cute to see them all dressed up and ready for "bed." Speaking of bed, here is a picture of the table for the party. Once again, Steve worked his magic and made the table look like a twin bed. A big thank you again to Grams & Grandpa for letting us borrow one of their headboards! We decorated the "bed" with some flower sheets and even added a little nightstand for effect. :-) The whole thing turned out great and the girls LOVED it!
We had a few different games lined up to keep everyone busy, but the girls had the best time just playing and hanging out. They did humor us though and played a couple of the games we put together. Here are some pictures of the relay race and the donut game.
The donut game was by far everyone's favorite! I wonder why! :-)
In keeping with tradition, I once again made the cake for the party. I don't really know that Sarah fully appreciates all of my effort at this point, but I hope one day she will realize this has truly been a labor of love on my part. This year she decided that she wanted to do cupcakes so we had individual cupcakes for everyone and then I made one giant cupcake as the centerpiece. I was happy with how everything turned out, but let's just say I wouldn't make it very far on Cupcake Wars. :-)
Here is the cake...
All in all, the party was a big success and everyone had a good time. I've posted more pictures in a slideshow on the right hand side of the page too for anyone who is interested. Enjoy! :-)

You need to go into the Children's Birthday Party Planning Business. What a clever idea and the games were so unique. Everyone looked like they were having a great time. And that big cupcake looked pretty fancy to me.
Great theme party. It looks like everyone had a good time, especially the birthday girl. These theme parties are going to get harder and harder to top.
