Wicked Birthday!

Grace's WICKED birthday has come and gone. This was a really funny party to plan, trying to be creative and come up with idea's to make a birthday theme come true for my daughter, a theme that there is nothing out there to buy, no wicked plates, napkins, decoration's... it all had to come from mine AND my bestie's imagination. I think we did an excellent job. It doesn't hurt that we are obsessed with WICKED and the moment she said she wanted a WICKED birthday we both said "OKAY.. YOU CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND!!" Here are some pictures to Grace's WICKED birthday.



The Cake. Of course it had Elphaba on it.
I also made cupcakes and we frosted them green for Elphi and white with Pink sprinkles for Glinda, the reason I did a cake AND cupcakes is because cupcakes are easier for me to count the carbohydrates of for Presley.Left over party favors in green and black M&M's

The party favors were great! I just loved them,.
A broom shaped pen that said "Grace's WICKED Birthday"
and
Bubbles with a rad label that had a picture of Glinda that read
"Well, we can't all come and go by bubble!!"
They were Great, Katie made the labels for those!

This was a great idea that my friend Sarah had mentioned.
A Wizomania puppet shop. Now if you haven't seen the play, you wouldn't understand this.
But believe me.. it makes sense and it's cute! Katie and I made the examples and we had A LOT of fun doing it. We both looked at each other and said "wow this is fun" maybe I should do crafts with the kids more often...???
It was also a BIG hit with the kids, I was shocked! they loved it.

Close up of the cupcakes. i LOVE the little flag's. Katie made these too!

We can throw a good party! Just imagine if money hadn't been an issue. hahaha the things we could have come up with!

and the little girl who was the brains behind the WHOLE thing!

This was our first year having a jumper at a party, and it was the BEST 90 bucks we ever spent. I mean the kids just gravitate to it, once they were in they totally left you alone. It's like a world of entertainment. Fantastic!! I also think it's the cure for diabetes. hahaha, her numbers were AMAZING all day. we were careful at night to not have any repeat episodes from our last jumper experience and it was beautiful.

oh yes, there we are... the parents of the birthday girl

Finally we had cake and opened presents. I will be posting a video later of the girls playing this game.. it was pretty funny.

as much as i love birthday parties, i hate them too. Of course we all know I hate them from a diabetes stand point, but I also hate them from a hostess stand point. I always worry that everybody had fun, that they enjoyed them self's. I hope It wasn't a stand around and wish it was over as soon as possible kind of party. Oh well if it was, I had fun, the girls had fun.. and I guess as long as Grace had a good time it was a success since it was HER DAY!!
