My Party: Rylie

Name: Rylie
Birthday: Second

Helen sent us an email with these wonderful photos of Rylie's recent celebration. She tells us: We just celebrated her 2nd birthday with all her little friends and she had...

 
 

...a blast. The biggest hit amongst the kids and adults was the cake my brother and sister made for her.

Happy Birthday Rylie!

Thanks, Helen!

We love a good party! We just put together a new "My Party" Submission Form. If you'd like to share the good ideas and photos from your child's celebration with the Ohdeedoh community please submit through the form found right here.

Oh my gosh, those dimples! She's gorgeous! Were Rylie's cake, party hats and pinwheels made at home?

This looks very much like the party I'm currently planning for my two year old! Her cake won't be near as wonderful as that though.

I'm curious, what did you put in the goodie bags? I'm really drawing a blank and could use some inspiration!

Do you have instructions on how to make the garland? It's gorgeous.

@codachroma: in the goodie bags, i included crayons, stickers, goldfish crackers, boxed juice drink, playdoh, and a plateset.

@vibi: Thank you! My brother and sister will take all the credit for making the cake. The cake and the characters are all covered in fondant. They dyed all the colors with food coloring and drew the eyes in with edible marker.

The garland is very simple to make. I found a font that I liked on Microsoft Word and enlarged it. I then traced it onto decorated cardstock paper and cut it out. I used double stick tape to tape the letter onto the rectangle cardstock paper. Punch out two holes on the top and connect all the letters with ribbon
