Pookie and Geetle’s 5th Birthday Party

Our friend party did not really have a theme, except for a general “Tea Party” atmosphere.

I got a couple of cheap Teapots at Goodwill and let the kids use my Fiestaware teacups and saucers. We had finger sandwiches (Peanut butter cut with a small cookie cutter) and they got to pour their own drinks. They all liked that.

Instead of a cake, we had a pile of birthday donuts. We lit the candle and sang twice, once for each twin.

Our friends brought some pretty awesome presents.

We had party hats and candy necklaces for party favors. Our party hats were just solid color hats that BAGD and I decorated. He cut “5″s out of craft foam and I attached spiral pipe cleaners to the top of each hat for a cute look.

Our candy necklaces were very simple, but popular. To make them, all you need is a length of Plastic Wrap (Saran Wrap), some candy and ribbon. Lay the plastic wrap out flat, place the candy every few inches or so, roll the plastic wrap around the candy and tie ribbon between each piece of candy. Tie the ends together and you have a necklace!

We played Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but other than that, the kids just played in the basement. We hung a large piece of paper on the wall and let them draw on it, that was pretty popular.
