BaileyRose's Bloomin' Bash! (AKA: How'd my baby turn Eleven?!)

Each girl went home with a goodie bag of flower themed cookies!



They all crashed to watch "Madea's Family Reunion"...... Tyler Perry is a big fav with BaileyRose.....




She opened her gifts....





She ate cake.... ready as we were, I forgot to get candles! So we had to use tea lights (see them on the top tier on the side?).



They painted their own flower pots.....



Serious business folks.....





Upon arrival, the girls sat down for a game of Tri-ominos.... a twist on the usual dominoes and one of our favorites. They also played Uno but those pictures contained too much violence so we couldn't post them ;-).









We had lots of activities..... painting flower pots......






Making hair flower clips......




Making lavender scented bath gel......






Tying hair tinsel into their hair......... (this is super cool fun if you haven't done hair tinsel yet! We ordered ours on line and have PLENTY to last us a long while!)





We made bracelets.....





BaileyRose had a MILLION design ideas and flavors for her cake..... each time I made a cake she liked, that was the inspiration for her next design. Finally, after we picked out plates and napkins I told her I was taking over and I would come up with the design and surprise her. She seemed almost relieved! I took my cue from the napkins/plates that she choose and also got to experiment with some brush embroidery technique with royal icing. The flavor is our new summer favorite.... Lemonade!
