It was a fun night and we took our little party to the Belmont Dairy Queen afterwards. Just a little heads up, if you're ever in the Belmont area, don't stop at the DQ. Keep going.
Caroline and I also started our gingerbread house this week and we finished it this morning. As we were making it, I had to remind myself several times that this was for "her" and that it was okay for it to be messy and not perfect!! She was a good helper and I learned a little patience, too!!:
Then this morning, my friend Jessica threw a "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" party at her house. Caroline was so excited about going and asked me if Jesus was really going to be there! It was such a cute idea and the kids loved it.
Jessica had a little manger craft for the kids to do. Notice the table is full of girls, while the boys are playing with the toys!
She made a cute cake for the ocassion...
...and the kids each placed a candle on the cake and blew it out together. Thanks, Jessica! It was such a cute party and we had a great time:)

What a great idea to have a Happy Birthday Jesus party! The gingerbread house turned out better than if I did it by myself. Good job Caroline!
You are some busy bees...The gingerbread house turned out a lot better than your friend's, Elizabeth Hassleback!!! I believe her gingerbread house was going to be foreclosed on!
And Charlotte Mom's are really amazing I must say...Happy Birthday Jesus party! Wow! You people know how to through parties down there!
Fun times! My sister's MIL has a birthday party for Jesus each year and invites all the kids in the neighborhood, etc. It's a great idea. Several in my family do a Jesus birthday cake, too. :o)
Great idea for the birthday party. I know our church sings happy birthday and my parent's church does the same with a cake to go with, but I love the idea of a party for the kids to go to!
I agree with your gingerbread house sentiment
I was laughing about the gingerbread house. Every time I do any projects with Adam I have to keep reminding myself to not worry about perfection and let him do it and have fun. ITS HARD! But I thought your GH looked great! i am sure Caroline is so proud everytime she looks at it.
And I loved the pictures of Caroline in the tutu in the last post. I agree with dolly that it deserves a frame. Nothing is cuter than a little girl in a tutu.
Awh, Donna, that little Gingerbread house is darling! I know that was so fun for Caroline to do with you. Way to go! Alright, I'm gonna do a Jesus birthday cake after reading this. That's great for the kids (and parents!)
Where do you "girl" moms get all these adorable dresses? It's like a little fashion show. Oh, how I would love to have a girl and doll her up! At this point I'd have to buy a girl, who knows...we're praying about adopting one day. Every time I see Caroline she's in a dress. I love that!
Yes, we have an anthropologie and I will be heading there asap! That's one of my favorite stores! My very first apron was from there. It gave me the apron "bug". I'll let you know if I find a deal! Thanks for the tip.
Caroline in the tutu is SO CUTE!!!!
I love the birthday party for Jesus - cute idea and way to bring it back to reason for the season:).
Great pictures and you have been a busy girl! Your gingerbread house looks fab!
