More Cake!

Thought I'd share a few more cakes I've done so far this year. Nothing as fancy as previously, we haven't had any big parties this year. Next year though, is Eva's first year of school so she gets her big party!

 My first "cheesefake" was sooooo good!

 I actually didn't do this one. My girls made it with their dad for my birthday!

 Easter bunnies the girls made.

 This one I did for a friend's daughter =)

 Snickers Cheesecake.

Pancake is a type of cake right??

Hopefully next year I'll make some more exciting cakes!

If You go Down to the Woods today....

So we had a (very) little party for Eva this year.

I thought we'd have a Teddy Bear's Picnic theme, one last party before the princess and fairy and pinkness I'm sure she will beg for next year.
I kept it simple

 Home printed birthday banner.

 Teddy bear cupcakes all with natural food colouring, and as many of the lollies as I could with natural colouring, flavors and no preservatives. Bottles of water with home printed labels. Reusable kids plates.

The rest of the food was again as natural and healthy, but still yummy as possible! Fruit, veggies and popcorn.

I made some Teddy Bear Pizzas using English muffins for the base and also some peanut butter and honey sandwiches that got devoured before I took a photo! They were Teddy Bear shaped too. We had the table down low so the kids could all help themselves. I'm so glad we did this, it made it much less stressful for everyone to get their food!

 We set up a little picnic tent with a net we found at bulk collection (and washed very well and aired out in the sun!)

 A teddy bear cake, again as natural ingredients as possible.

Having their picnic.

 For activities everyone brought along a teddy bear. Using scraps I made up some scarves, mittens, skirts and chopped up some ribbon for everyone to dress up their bears for the party!

I also printed out some teddy themed colour pages for everyone to colour in.

 I grabbed some face paint crayons and painted everyone's face. Very amateur! But the kids loved it! You can see the butterfly faces above too.

Mr Teddy Bear!

 The birthday bear!

For some reason I didn't take photos of what was in the party bags! I made the little Teddy Bear ear headbands that Eva's wearing for everyone. I also popped in a sheet of Teddy Bear stickers, an all natural fruit stick and a stamp.

It was such a great afternoon! Very relaxed and simple, but still plenty for the kids to do. We were very lucky to have such beautiful weather too. Eva had a great time!

Three!!

We celebrated my babies 3rd birthday this week! THREE!!! Not my baby anymore =(

 (just out of bed!)

 it was IMPOSSIBLE to not get a blurry photo of her running through her birthday banner!

I made her a "Betty Doll" at her request.

birthday muffin before the movie

 proud of my big girl =D

Hubby took the day off and we went to the movies to see "The Croods" while Chloe was at school. Eva had a special lunch (chips!) then we went down to the school to see Chloe get a Merit Certificate.
That evening we had family over for coffee and cake.
We had a little Teddy Bear's Picnic party this weekend, but that's another post.....
