caitlin's bday festivities

caitlin wanted an american idol birthday party this year (which worked out well since she got a karaoke machine for her birthday). it was too spendy to buy all the real american idol party supplies, so we just made our own a.i. party. she had a blast...and the girls had so much fun singing and dancing!
the stage
contestant registration. this was serious business folks!
a huge THANK YOU to linds for doing these cute shirts
and YES we hung cd's from the ceiling. (well, Nate hung them from the ceiling. thanks Buns!)

it's a MICROPHONE cake...get it? ok...so it doesn't look great. but it was gluten-free and it at least RESEMBLED a microphone, right?

Your Next American Idols....








Caitlin's school had their carnival on Caitlin's birthday, in honor of her. Thanks VVL! Haha...but it made for an easy birthday afternoon and evening!
she made it to the top! way to go bday girl.
she's also got quite the hip movement...
abby's favorite part of the carnival: the sparkley butterfly face paint.

So yours must have been the party that prevented Lindsay from babysitting! Hahaha, she is absolutely the ultimate t-shirt maker and vinyl guru. That's an awesome party. We haven't yet done truly themed parties, I guess we have a little time. I'll come to you when Logan wants a MotoCross or mad scientist one.

That is such a cute party! GREAT decorations and the shirts were awesome...I was going to tell you there is a fairly new bakery I think in Kaysville that is all gluten free. Not that you can't make your own gluten free treats (the cake!) I just think of your little girl every time I get a coupon in the mail.

Wow, what a wonder-mom! Such an awesome idea for a birthday party! I can't believe Caitlin is 7! You don't look like you could have a 7 year old. Crazy!

That looks like the BEST birthday party. I love your new look on the blog! Caitlin will have good memories of such a fun birthday.
