A Ballet Birthday


So Kaya wanted a ballet party for her birthday - "no boys cause ballet is just for girls, mom!".

We created these lovely invites - notice her printing and help ... I really had to let go of my need for the perfect cute invite ... and now when I look at them, I think they are perfect!!

notice the IMVITED :)


The back said "you are invited to a ballet birthday for Kaya Kenyon on May 3rd at Kenyon Dance Studio (with our address and a clever description of activities). Please RSVP to Nikki (head instructor)."

We had ballerina cake (which I made!) and made tutus and danced and played hard for 2 hours. Here is the final picture of all the ballerinas ... note the little one in the black leotard!

Left to right: Keidis, Janae (from downstairs), Isabella Officer, Kaya the birthday ballerina, Sarah MacDonald, and Emma Rolfson.

I am so impressed with the cake, Nikki, cause that takes real artistic talent to do that with icing.
As for Keidis in a tu-tu...I love it! Carson loves to cross-dress too. Yesterday he came outside to play wearing Haley's bathingsuit( a pink tankini with ruffles). And was perfectly content in it for hours!
The invitations were great! Tell Kaya great job.

Really good work on the cakes! Have you been doing one once a month like you had wanted to?
