We had a birthday party for Sarah on Friday, March 4th at our house. Sarah just wanted to invite a few friends over to play. So, I planned a couple crafts for them all to do together, they played, ate dinner and cake together, and Sarah opened her gifts from her friends.
The first craft we started out with were bunny or chick jars. I had seen this craft on Pinterest and thought we would get the supplies for it and let the girls give it a try.
Here is the link to the jar idea if you would like to give it a try too. (CLICK HERE).
The link provides instructions, a supply list, and pictures of the project.

We gave each child a small jar and a paint brush and they each painted Mod Podge glue all around the side edges of their jar. (not on the top or bottom) Next Eric and I helped them sprinkle yellow or white glitter all over the glue. The next step was to let it dry. While it was drying they each picked out a set of googly eyes, cut out feet, duck beaks, and bunny ears and whiskers.
Once everything was dry I hot glued on all of the small detail pieces to complete the chicks and bunnies. Lastly Eric and I filled each jar with Starburst Jelly Beans for the girls to take home and eat later.
Pizza time! And, bunny ears, apparently.

After dinner the kids all worked on the second craft. I gave them each a wooden cross with a wooden heart in the middle of the cross, dumped a lot of paint on to some plates in the middle of the table and let them each paint their crosses and hearts however they wanted.
They each painted them very differently, but they all turned out beautiful!

Sarah got some nice and very fun gifts from her friends.
She picked an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen for her 9th birthday cake this year. (Sarah loves dessert, especially ice cream!)
Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Sarah. Happy Birthday to you! And, many more....Cha-Cha-Cha!
