Yesterday, we celebrated Peyton's 6th Birthday with 19 of her friends from school at our home.
Chocolate Cake with White Merengue Frosting
Cute Rainbow cupcakes. I found the idea on pinterest.com.
Fruit Spectrum - Not one of the kids' favorites, but definetely mine. :)
Rainbow Jello and Skittles.
We did three crafts: rainbow friendship bracelets, crepe paper rainbows, and painted our own picture frames. I took photos of the kids throughout the party after each had their face painted, printed them and added them to the frame as the party gift to take home.
Balloons make everything feel more festive. The sun was out for a little while, but it was mostly cloudy as you can see. :)
Freya is from Scotland and Elena is Chilean. Peyton has a truly international class.
For the record: I can't stand pinata. The kids are always asking for them and I normally refuse. This year, I filled it with every last bit of candy leftover from Halloween. It was loaded and everyone took home way a bag full.
In Peru, you can find anything and everything made of syrofoam and glitter for birthday parties. This cute clown was $3.50.
He had doves and bunnies incorporated into the show.
I would be lying if I said that fire in my living room didn't make me a little nervous. :) At the end of the show, the guy in the blue wig, played happy birthday on his trumpet while the kids sang.
The kids were mesmerized.
All in all, it was a success and worth the effort. This time of year is always a little stressful for me, but I am happy that Peyton was ableto celebrate her birthday in a special way.
