Heidi's 5th Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Heidi's 5th birthday with her friends from church. She wanted an art party so we (Joe and I) did our best to deliver something fun. Thank goodness we have a real artist in the family to help with all the prep.

Her friends Emi, Seneya, Luke, Anika, and Ella came to celebrate. We started off picking aprons as each guest arrived and coloring in some frames with oil pastels.



Then we moved over to Bob Ross and played "High-five the artist". Each child got to give Bob Ross a high-five with the paint that matched their apron. They loved getting their hand all messy in the paint. It was my favorite part. Those kids were so cute about it.



Afterward they got to paint their own masterpiece. I loved their creativity.



Joe got the piñata ready while I cleared the paint table to get ready for cake, ice cream and snacks. 

Heidi loved her cupcake piñata and her 6-layer, bigger-than-her-face rainbow cake.



It was interesting that the thing that was most eaten was the fruit that we offered. Barely any ice cream or cake was eaten. Kids just wanted fruit! No cheese or crackers either. 

We finished off with some presents and 2 hours were up, just like that! Perfect! 

We love our Heidi girl and we are glad she had a great party. She gave us hugs to show her appreciation after everyone left. 5 years of this sweet girl in our family! She is sweet, funny, imaginative, a performer, girlie, graceful, and loving. 

Heidi, we think the world of you and are so grateful for who you are and all the love, joy, fun, and humor you bring to our little family. You always want to play and spend one-on-one time with mom or dad. You love that quality time. You also love being hugged, kissed, and cuddled. I love all of you!! Love, Mom
