Baking Party: Jonas Second Birthday<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This past weekend we celebrated the second birthday of our second son, Jonas. For his party I wanted to do something fun and festive and get everyone in the mood for the upcoming Holiday season. So we chose a baking theme.\u00a0\u00a0 Jake and I decided to decorate the basement to look like candy land. We got some great decorations from Oriental Trading company. We also decided to make our own “gingerbread” house. We got a cardboard house from Target<\/a>, that we painted and glittered secretly each night when Jonas when to sleep. It was our present to him for his birthday.<\/p>\n

We also made a mixed cd for background music at the party with old time favorites like lollipop lollipop, I want Candy, Big Rock Candy Mountain, and Willy Wonka Songs<\/em> to name a few…<\/p>\n

When the kids arrived they were encouraged to put on their baking hats,\u00a0 aprons, and start rolling out mini pizzas! To make clean easier, I laid down wax paper on each spot.\u00a0 I had pizza sauce in tiny squirt bottle and tons of toppings to choice from in mini bowls. While the pizzas were baking we did a simple craft. I got decorate your own gingerbread house sticker sheets. This time of year there was a ton of gingerbread type ornaments that would have also worked with an older crowd. Once the pizza’s were done, the kids had lunch while I set up for the final activity.<\/p>\n

The kids ended the day with decorating their own cupcakes. I got little boxes for them to take some their master pieces home.\u00a0 We also had some play-dough and cookie cutters set up in a table around the room for the little bakers to play with.\u00a0 Each little baker got to go home with a can of play-dough, cookie cutters, and their rolling pin to continue playing at home.<\/p>\n
