Naomi's 8th Birthday Party - Spa

Naomi wanted to do a spa party with her friends. I think it turned out quite fun!

All set up. If you don't know, Naomi's obsession is turquoise right now.

Image

Each girl got slippers and a sleep mask, nail file, lip gloss, a mirror, nail polish, and a pouf in their cute turquoise tote.

Image

Naomi wanted this beautiful rosette cake in turquoise. I was terrified to try it, but it was so easy! I am excited to try it again when I will have enough frosting to finish the whole thing. This time it worked out well because we put the candles in the open white part on top.

Image

Aren't the cookies fun?

Image

The girls did chocolate facials. This was hilarious!!! They kept saying, "I hate this!" with giant smiles and giggles! I think they really loved it! They also painted their nails, but I did not get pictures of that part. Too busy!

This stuff was tough to get off!!

Image

Image

Image

They all sang Happy Birthday in French again this year. This time I actually knew it! Naomi chose to have relight candles. They also apparently sparkled a little like sparklers! They were all freaking out because they kept relighting and spitting sparks at them. Also, hilarious!!

Image

All the glorious sugar! I know they all went home super hyper.

Image

Image

Image

We got Naomi Cinderella. So we all watched that as part of our spa retreat.

Image

This was really fun! The girls are all so great and fun to watch together.

Naomi's big present this year was getting her ears pierced. I told her 2 years ago she could do it when she turned 8. Wow, she turned 8 fast! She was very brave!

Photo: She did it!!!!

Its only been a year!!

So its been about a year since I posted, but I wanted to share photos of Gwen and Bianca's birthday party. AND I don't want to overload facebook with my boring old pictures.

Gwen and Bia had a combined party. Gwen wanted a rainbow party and, of course, Bia went along for the ride. It was really fun!

Image
I made a few paper rosettes! haha.
Image
We had chocolate covered oreos and rainbow m&m's. (I just picked out all the brown ones and Bia ate them!)
Image
And we had a rainbow fruit platter.
Image
The girls and I made this giant balloon banner. This is how we learned how.
Brian actually took some pics while I wasn't in the room. He is a little more artistic than me!
Image

My cake:

Image
I copied it from Whisk Kid. She seems pretty cool! It was yummy!
Image
I also made a balloon wreath.

Image
I think Naomi has reached the "I think its cool not to smile" phase.
Image
We got a good one!
Image
Brian told them a joke. "What's black and white and red all over..." That's as far as he got and they laughed!
Gwen blew out all of the candles. I may have bought trick candles...I'm still not sure.
Image
Presents!
Image
Its serious business:
Image
She liked it!
Image
Gwenie did too:
Image
Image
And then they all just played by themselves....
Image
 Not really. They were very good at sharing all of their presents with their friends.
Image
Image
Image
Image
I got them presents too. We just gave them to them on Gwen's actual birthday to celebrate the actual day.
Image
Image
They each got a new baby doll, a doctor kit to share, and Gwen got a princess dress and wings (from daddy). Really, I purchased them, wrapped them, and left them in the garage for him to bring in when he got home! She was ecstatic that daddy bought her special presents!
