Party Hardy

You are invited to Emma's Cooking Academy!

Featuring the culinary arts of Master Chef Larry

and Master Chef Rachel!

Emma invited 8 friends over to enjoy

her 8th birthday cooking party!

We started out by supplying all the kids with

a homemade apron

and teaching them the techniques of

rolling out their own

dough to make mini pizzas.

Then we had an abundant amount of toppings

for the kids to choose from

to make their creations.

Coda and Stephen

highly approve of their pizzas.

Kaylee and Madison

loved their pizzas

and Master Chef Rachel's

homemade slurpee's!!

Avery and Kaitlyn

are friends from Emma's soccer team.

These 2 girls avoiding one of the funnest games.

"Smelly Tasty"

(but I don't blame them one bit)

3 daring kids got blindfolded

and we had them smell and taste

different things.

Then guess what they were.

One of our games was popping balloons with

a little strip of paper inside each one.

On the paper was a line from 1 of 10

nursery rhymes or songs about food.

"Everyone got your balloons?"

"Ready, Set....POP!"

They took the strips of paper and taped them 

to a sheet and tried to make the

lines in the right order so we could read them.

PRESENT TIME!

Make your own bracelets.

Girl Legos!

Color your own purse.

A Barbie where you can paint

designs on her hair!

A 3D Moxie Doll

Game for the family,

Apples to Apples.

Money!

And our close friends the Brown's

(who took Ben, Dan and Keira during the party)

gave Emma a Disney PJ and

a Sleeping Beauty Doll.

A soccer charm necklace with

her name on it and

BLITZ

(her soccer team name)

One more chance for creative

culinary creations!

Make your own cupcakes.

We had 4 different color icings.

Toppings like marshmallows,

jellybeans, gummy worms,

candy corns, m&m's,

and loads of sprinkles.

It was fun to watch the kids

try to get the mountainous

cupcakes into their little mouths.

Poor Avery was laughing and giggling so

hard at her sugary dessert she could

barely find time to eat it.

And the winner of the evening?

This little bit of sweetness.

It has at least an inch thick of sprinkles!!
