art party

Well, it's official, I am burned out on birthdays.  Having two so close together is a bit overwhelming. Travel, birthdays, Easter- March has been a busy month.

Emma is an interesting mix of both intellect and creativity.  Desiring to be just like her Dad, she is a budding little artist.  For her 7th birthday she requested a party centered around that theme- art.

According to first grade girls, the best way to get the party going is dancing.  Emma played DJ and it was pretty funny. Carl and I kept peeking around the corner, and he even managed to snap a picture of the action.

Next up, each girl was given a canvas and some paints to create her own masterpiece.  I was surprised at how seriously they took on this project.  Such detail and concentration.

Then of course, there were cupcakes (Emma insisted that she be the one to frost them).

Here are the favors that we gave out . It was a fun day filled with sweet seven year olds....no more big birthday bashes until June- whew!
