Thursday Challenge: Celebration
My daughter turned seven. The fairy birthday party went well; thirteen fairies arrived, made fairy wreaths, received fairy wands and diplomas, went on a lost fairy hunt, played fairy freeze dance, put on three fairy skits about magic wishes, and enjoyed pizza and Fairytopia ice cream cake.
The theme for this week’s Thursday’s Challenge is CELEBRATION (National Holiday, Independence Day, Commemoration, Party, Fireworks,…).
Patty Reiser says
That cake looks absolutely yummy!
Wishing you a scent-sational day!
Raizy says
Happy birthday to your daughter!
That's a great looking cake.
Greensboro Daily Photo says
This cake just screams CELEBRATION!!!
Robin says
Great looking cake, and it sounds like the party was a smashing success! Happy birthday to your fairy girl.
Leora says
My daughter has a list of complaints of things that didn't go quite as she liked. But I thought it was great.
Klara Le Vine says
I wish your daughter a bad memory for the things that went wrong and a great memory for all the fairy magic that went right.
Leora says
Yes, I wish she did also, Klara. Maybe in twenty years.
Batya says
What a cake!
Mazal Tov!
Ilana-Davita says
A fairy party! Tha'ts imaginative. Who had the idea?
Leora says
The daughter. Last year it was a ballet party. The year before was a princess party. The games and activities are similar each time; and for the past two years my middle son tells a whole story to the girls and sends them on a hunt. This year he was Farmer Bob with a pitchfork.
Ilana-Davita says
You are lucky to have such a cooperative son.
Jew Wishes says
What a beautiful and yummylicious looking cake!
Happy belated birthday wishes!
Melissa B. says
My daughters are much older, and still demand the Baskin-Robbins b-day cake! Last year, the youngest turned 18...we got her a Disney Princess Cake. Love your snap. The colors are yummy!
Carletta says
What a sweet cake! Sounds like a cute party.
Your list of things they did are sound wonderful.
Oh to be seven and have your life ahead of you:)
Jientje says
It's a great picture for the theme, Happy Birthday to the birthday girl!
ramblingwoods says
Oh..a very Happy Birthday..it sounds like such a good idea for a girl's party...I bet she had a wonderful time...
Baila says
Happy birthday! Did she dress up as a fairy? I remember when my girls were really into fairies. They had this toy where you pulled the string and the fairy went spinning into the air, wings flying.
Leora says
Cool. So when does it turn off (the love of little kid stuff)? I like this stage. I remember when my oldest son was totally into the Thomas the Tank Engine. Now we are not really sure what he is "into," other than complicated online computer games and books that none of us adults have ever read.
Baila says
Orli, who just turned 12 told me the other day I could get rid of her American Girl Doll. I told her NO WAY, that thing cost me 90 dollars, if she's done with it, I'LL PLAY WITH IT. I would say my kids stopped with the girlie-girlie stuff (Barbies, those tiny little dolls I forget what they are called, etc0 at about 10. But I guess it depends on the kid.
Dhaval Jani says
Sorry I am late... Belated Happy Birthday:)
Rivka with a capital A says
Hey Leora,
Sounds great!! And I LOVE that cake!!
Who wrote the skits?
Like Baila, I found my kids "grew out" of the "little kid" phase around 10 or 11.
Leora says
The kids wrote the skits themselves. My babysitter and I helped coordinate (or else they would have taken forever).
By now, the leftovers of the cake are still in the freezer, and I wish it were gone. I'm tempted to just toss it...
Klara Le Vine says
so what is stopping you??!! I pride myself in finding a home for most everything, peels into the compost (now wormbox), old food for the dog, old bread for breadcrumbs or croutons - but some things just aren't valuable to keep - you've got the pictures and the memories, it's enough.
Jewish Side says
Happy late birthday to your daughter, glad to see it was a success!
Please leave a comment! I love to hear from you.
