Birthday Banners

My niece Olivia and nephew Gavin just had an awesome birthday party this last weekend!  My sister is a teacher and is up to her ears in end of school commitments from  her children and students!  On top of it all, she threw an amazing party for both of her children and it was fun.  Check out the banners and cake:

I made Gavin's banner and it had to be Lego themed.  Gavin lovesLego Ninjago so I went to the lego website and printed out posters of the characters.  I used Stampin' Up! paper because it matched the colors so great and the paper is so durable, perfect for a banner.

Check out this awesome banner my sister made.  Punch art Sesame characters-love it!  She is the queen of banners for sure!  Here is a close up of a part of the banner:

Andrea used stickers and retired SU ribbon.  Sesame street characters just make me smile :-).  Andrea's mother-in-law Phyllis Enns made the cakes and ice cream.  They were a hit!  Olivia's cake was cute with those candy Elmo's.  I love how creative she was with Gavin's cake.  That little guy can water ski, and he is good!  I mean jumping and doing little tricks. She added a framed photo by the cake, which was a great touch.

Lego Ninjago minifig's water skiing??? Cool!!! My nephew couldn't take his eyes off the cake.

People definitely had seconds on that good home made vanilla ice cream with home made chocolate syrup!

Andrea made this MDS a while ago and it was a perfect centerpiece on the food table.  What a fun day with family and friends!

Tee hee~
