olympic party - details

 i had so much fun planning an olympic themed party 

for emery's 7th birthday...

did you see the invitations?

we had great fun today - but you'll have to wait for those photos.

tonight, i will share some of the details that helped make the day so fun!

 paper flags and paper plates are a fun way to bring more colour to the decor!

judah was so nice to build the cone stand for the torches.

on the table was a variety of olympic treats:

 golden oreo medals

 olympic ring cupcakes

(emery wasn't excited about these, but i wanted a back up 

in case the torches below didn't turn out)

 cupcake torches

(complete with candy clay flames)

 the healthy olympic rings

(fruit in all the colours...)

~

these are the medals i created 

using shrinky dink plastic sheets (love that stuff),

 a rainbow pack of sharpies,

and a roll of red ribbon!

they took some time - but i'm so happy with how they turned out!

 each child also went home with some 'sporty' sunglasses, 

a maple leaf water bottle, some smarties,

and a flag that they created...

we had fun today!

i hope to share more photos from the party soon,

and i'll go into more detail about 

the olympic 'events' of the day.
