Black & White Birthday Party!
Jul. 3, 2008 • 9:14 AM
Last weekend, we celebrated our oldest daughter's 12th birthday! It's hard to believe my baby is 12! She is growing up and making mom old! 
She is really growing into a lovely young lady though, she loves the Lord and is very creative and helpful, a true sweetheart! 
I am very thankful to be her mom!
She had a black & white birthday party! Can you guess why black & white? Well..... she has always liked zebras and pandas (as her favorite animals.) I don't think it is just because they are black and white- she just likes them. So... we went with a black and white birthday party and decorated with pandas and zebras! Everyone was to wear black and white!
We played some group games (Zebra team vs. the panda team)! We had black and white drinks (made like the 4th of July drinks I am posting here!) We also had dark and light tortilla chips with salsa, some black and white jelly candy, and the cakes and ice cream that were all black and white. The other things were just foods we needed to make a well rounded meal/menu.
Here are the cupcakes I made. (The idea was in a magazine but don't know which one as my mom tore out the article and gave it to me! Thanks Mom!) ...and the birthday girl!
The cupcakes were made with one regular sized cupcake and a mini cupcake. The mini sat on its side on top of the reg.-sized cupcake. Oreos, black cake icing and Junior mints were used to create the pandas!
Look at all the black and white gift bags and wrappings!:
Here are some of her Black & white gifts:
Wildly Cool Slippers:
A few Webkinz: the cow and the cat! (Our children just love Webkinz!)
plus... the Webkinz Panda figurine:
She received many other wonderful gifts,too. (Thanks to all of you who made her feel special!)
Then they all changed into swimwear and we had a water slide down on big hill in our front yard! It was GREAT fun!!
Here is a line-up of most of the kids at the top of the slide.... then at the bottom!
Sweetheart! We You!
