Celebrating the Birthday Girl

Even though Greta's birthday wasn't for another week

 we wanted to have a birthday party for her before we left.

 First we had to make cupcakes

 

  

Our favorite part...licking the beaters.

  Let the festivities begin.

 Now Steph can orchestrate  a party like none other
and it was a blast.

 There was face painting

 

 

 

 

 Face painting was so fun they decided to do some arm painting. 

 Then they did the Magic Cupcake.

 Making the magic work.

 A few magic words and taps with the wands

 and we have a ...magic cupcake.

 I don't remember what the kids were watching

but it must have been exciting.

Then Steph twisted some balloons.  Hello Kitty, a puppy

and swords for everyone.

 It felt like we were in a battle  between Captain Hook, Peter Pan 

 and  the children.

En garde!
