Yesterday we celebrated Krista's 8th Birthday with her friends. We had SO much fun! Krista said it was her best birthday party ever (something she says every year, but it is still good to hear!).Every year I let the kids choose a "theme" for their birthday. We always shop at Celebrate Express for the lastest and greatest party themes. This year Krista picked the Pink Poodle theme, which was really precious. It came complete with an Eiffel tower centerpiece which Krista just loved. The little party favor boxes were just adorable as well.
I baked 3 cakes for the big event. One chocolate "8" cake, and a buttercream frosted vanilla spongecake. Krista loved the vanilla cake because of the pink frosting and the pink poodle. She didn't even want to eat it because she said it looked too perfect. I was so hapy she loved it. I wanted everything just right for her party!!
Following the pink poodle theme, we had the guests (10 girls and 1 boy) bring their stuffed animal dogs...We made sticker-jeweled doggie collars with personalized nametags. I think it was a fun activity for the kids. We also had a poodle drawing contest and played ring toss in the backyard. Luckily the weather cooperated and we had some nice warm sunshine so we could play and draw outside.
All in all it was a great day for Krista! Her real birthday is on Tuesday and she will be spending the day in a castle! Her school is taking their week-long field trip this week. I'm sure she'll have a blast!

Happy 8th Birthday Krista! It sure looked like a fabulous party, Kelly and the cakes looked delicious. I know you spent a lot of time on it. I can understand why she did not want to eat her poodle cake.
