We are blessed and thankful for every birthday, but there is something special about turning 5. So we did it right for Jake this year with family, friends a balloon artist and silly fun and games. It was a blur of balloons and bright colors. Started with the invitation thanks to my Cricut and Martha Stweart punches...
Then I was daring and made what I've been seeing all over my favorite blogs lately...the rainbow cupcake...ok, so my rainbow is upside down, but a five year old is still impressed! Not bad for the first attempt - next time will add sour cream to the mix so that the layers stand up better...
The balloon artist is called "Pax" and he was awesome. He can twist anything you can think of, and throws in a few cool magic tricks to keep it lively! Kids love this guy, and can you see why?
When we sat down for cake, the kids had rainbow cupcakes, magic birthday punch consisting of 3 colors of gatorade frozen into star shapes and dropped into Sprite which turned colors as the stars melted, and funny face glasses- you know the kind with eyebrows and a big nose! I shamelessly stole the idea for the silly glasses from my friend Dina, but hey, it was a great idea! I was a little preoccupied and only have one shot of the funny faces!
Jake's Carnival 5th birthday was a screaming success! All the kids went home with brightly colored hula hoops (from the dollar store) and silly face glasses. Will definitely be making those adorable cupcakes again soon!
