Better late than never, right? Since I (at least for the moment) have started to blog again, I wanted to include a post about Carter's sixth birthday party.....even if it was almost 3 months ago! Again, I must say I was depending on pinterest for some cute birthday party ideas. As usual, pinterest did not disappoint. The pictures I took from the party don't quite capture how cute, yet simple it all was. But I wanted to share them neverthless.
I had juice boxes set up to look like a tower, put cardstock on my cannisters to make them look like "buildings"and ordered a digital paper pack off of etsy for some added touches (and what I used to make the invites)
I scored some super on sale superhero pens from Michaels earlier in the summer. I used those, along with super hero fruit snacks as party favors for the boys and since there were alot of girls at the party, I got some princess puzzles too. But the highlight of the party favors was my mom sewed 20 super hero capes, complete with frills and lace for the girls! What a great mom I have!!

For food, I served the usual party food....corndogs, and other snacks I can't remember since it was three months ago :) I made chocolate cupcakes with homemade frosting and put red, white, blue sprinkles on top. I am not Martha Stewart when it comes to cupcake/cake decorating so these were so easy!
Carter ended up having a good turnout for his party. My brother and my nephew and nieces made the two hour drive down (and Omaw and Papaw too of course) and Carter was so excited to hang out with his cousins!
I love this picture and how "cool" Carter looks!
And finally after three years, the cousins are finally partying it up together!

Jaime, you are quite the Martha Stewart and such a good mama! What a fun party it must have been and what an awesome treat to get a homemade cape!
Waooo! Super hero birthday party is a great day celebrated by all kids and of course the most by birthday star. Baby shower planning is on cards for my sister in law. Already booked one of the frolic San Francisco venues for her special day. Dinner, drinks and cake are done online. Will also order lovely flowers for decoration and pleasant ambience.
