Sadie’s 5th Birthday! October 15, 2009

Sadie loves to plan a party. She invited some friends over for a pool party in honor of her 5th birthday.

Here she decorates the goodie bags with each guest’s name and stickers suited to their particular likings.

Trying to set up a tarp for shade on a windy Texas day proved to be very interesting… and frustrating. We eventually managed and it stayed up for (almost) the whole party.

The kids decorated flip-flops with tied pieces of fabric.

Sno-cones in the pool!

There was lots of  general pool play and some games. Here the kids hunt for color-coded ping pong balls in the pool.

Time for cake! Cupcakes by Kelly! Our friend Kelly makes the most amazing (and vegan!) cupcakes! She made some beautiful and deeeelicious ones for Sadie’s birthday. If you’re local and looking for the best cupcakes you’ve ever had for any occasion, I can get you her info. Mmmmmm!

Sadie loves going to Chili’s for her birthday (where the waitstaff sings and brings yummy molten chocolate cake) so that was dinner on her actual birthday.

She has been wanting to make clothing and accessories for some time and got a sewing machine for her birthday! Here we watch the DVD to figure out how to thread/use it.

Her 1st creation- a purse!
