feb 2013: party time!

for brooklin's fifth birthday party we decided to go with an art theme.  it was absolutely perfect for her because this girls LOVES art and being able to create.  whether it be cutting and gluing, painting, sculpting, coloring, it really doesn't matter.  she just loves being creative, which I very much love about her. 

at the party the kids all got to create fun little works of art to take home.  we had three stations set up:

the paint spinner, which was a big hit, and still is in our home!

 

 

clay sculpting, which all the boys seemed to really like.

 

 

 

and oil pastels

 

 

it was so great to see all of the unique art of these precious children.  I loved it so much!  and they all seemed to really have a great time.

 

of course what is a party without yummy treats?!

 

tie dye cupcakes!

pretzel crayons, rice krispy treat paintbrushes, fruit kabobs,
m&ms, and pink lemonade!

little sis, lauren, spent most of the party snacking, lol!

 

 

my beautiful birthday girl!  man, she's just growing up so fast.

 

 

 

and presents!

 

 

thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us.  we feel so blessed to have sweet brooklin in our family.  she is so thoughtful, helpful, caring and loving.  and is a great example to her little sister, and to me as well.  we just love this girl to pieces!
