Classic Birthday

 Leena's actual birthday was last week.  On her actual birthday, she wanted a jello cake.  Specifically, a jello cake from the grape mold that was really flavored raspberry and lime (in layers).  She's quirky like that.

The previous post's pictures were from the party with extended family. Yes, she did end up with three cakes and three parties!

For her birthday party today (with friends), she wanted a "classic" birthday.

So, we decorated with streamers and balloons.


We had a two layer white cake with pink frosting and sprinkles.

We had a big bunch of friends over.

And we played classic party games!

First we had Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Donkey. We just drew a donkey and some tails on my big roll of brown paper.

Then we played Musical Chairs.

Then we played a face drawing relay game.



We had two teams, each armed with a marker.  Each member of the team had to run across the room and draw one facial feature, then run back and hand off the marker!  It ended up looking like this:


 So fun!  Happy birthday, Leena!
