Sophia's Friend Party....

Birthday celebrations last a week around our house! Family party, "real" birthday, a restaurant chosen by the birthday person...and last but not least...a friend party!!!

Sophia wanted to have an art party. She invited 6 friends (one got sick the night before). We hired an art teacher to lead the lesson. Grammy and Sophia made the cake!!

 

Party favors...personalized bags with pencil crayons inside and a sketch pad.

 

6 little girls painting around the table....

 

And making quite a mess while eating!!!

 

The finished product...painted horses with tissue paper manes.

 

Happy Birthday Sophia!!! You are officially 9! And we can't wait to see what this year has in store for you!!

Happy Birthday Sophia!!!
