Happy Birthday Heather! ...and other stuff

THE PARTY WITH FRIENDS
Here is the patriotic cupcake design I used to make 60+ cupcakes for Heather's co-birthday party with a schoolmate. The white stars are fondant. The icing is homemade buttercream with tons of icing color added (the whole bottle for the red icing). The cake is Pillsbury Funfetti. (Sorry it's upside down. The shadow doesn't look right when I rotate the picture. Silly photographer!)



Heather's a real go-getter on lots of things, especially the huge inflatable slide at Party ExtraordinAIR.





It's more fun when you slide with friends!






The birthday girls.




Would someone please come play air hockey with me???




Maybe I'll try and try and try basketball.

HANGING OUT AT HOME


All packed and ready to go to Grandma's. Mama and Daddy are getting up way too early the next day to time the Fourth of July race in Mt. Shasta. Grandma bets I won't sleep in either!

THE FAMILY PARTY


It may be Heather's birthday hat, but Jamie thinks he looks best in it.
