Sarah's 5th Birthday

Sarah's birthday this year marked a milestone - she asked for a small party with her closest friends, so that's what we did. She also wanted a rainbow theme, so I ran wild and made most of the decorations and food. We had a few little friends over and the kids had fun. It was a good birthday, but now it's time to plan Nate's! Stay tuned...

The festive decorations: tissue paper pom poms, and assorted rainbow foods.

Close up of the food: rainbow jello (yep, 1 hour to chill per layer)
and rainbow cupcakes that even were rainbow inside
