Christmas is only 2 1/2 weeks away. Rebekah's birthday 3 days, so for us, it's a busy time. The Christmas presents are bought, so are Rebekah's. It's great to be done that part! Now, we're preparing for the party. This weekend will be Rebekah's first birthday party with 5 giggling little girls, so we want it to be memorable.
We are having a Candyland birthday, all based around the Candyland board game. We are creating a life-size version of the game for the girls to play. Currently, Glynn is drawing the characters and signs. We created Candyland invitations that went out last week. The girls will also be decorating their own miniature gingerbread houses to take home with them in their treat bags.
Tomorrow night we will be baking cupcakes for Rebekah to take to school on Friday. Thursday night we will be decorating them. Using coloured decorating sugar, licorice, and red and green m&m's we're going to make cupcakes that look like Christmas ornaments. Rebekah loves the idea! Friday night we will have to bake the cakes. Her cake is going to be a replica of the candyland board game, built out of various candy pieces. The path tiles will be made out of startburst candies. Then Saturday morning, I will decorate it.
So, as you can see, our week will be pretty busy, but well worth it for the memories that Rebekah will have. After this week, we will solely focus on slowing down for Christmas, helping others, and spending lots of time as a family.
