casidee's mixed up dinner

Casidee's birthday is all about luck it seems.  We either get to host it on Friday the 13th (the 13th being her actual birthday.  See it here) or we get to celebrate it on St. Patrick's day, like we did this year, because it's the closest weekend to her birthday.  Since Cas's favorite color is green she had no problem incorporating the color.

For Casidee's birthday party she wanted to do a mixed up dinner like Jayme had (here).

Cas is major into dinosaurs and silly bands... how lucky to find dinosaur silly bands!

A menu is made with the different parts of the dinner listed individually.  Even the utensils are on the menu.  The girls get to order three things for four courses.  By the end of the meal they finally have all they need for a full dinner, but the fun part is putting in an order and getting ice cream, alfredo sauce, and ranch dressing.  Or actually managing to order both the fettucini noodles and the alfredo sauce but not getting a utensil to eat it with.  (Even the alfredo sauce was green).

After dinner the girls decorated party hats, turning them into dinosaur hats.

And they talked.  I was impressed with how calm they were, even though they were giggling and having fun. 

I like these types of parties.

Casidee's rainbow dino hat.  She did a good job, didn't she?

And her creative friend's hats.

Jayme's birthday Diner

For J's birthday party we did a mixed up dinner. Meaning the menu made absolutely no sense, but they had to order four things for three courses. By then end they would eventually have the makings of a spaghetti dinner. For example on one first course someone managed to order her fork, her spoon, ranch dressing, and spaghetti sauce. Another managed to get the ice for her drink, her noodles, cake, and ice cream. It was hilarious to say the least and the goal became "now what do I order to make this edible... or more funny?" Apparently I forgot to take a picture of J's cake, which was actually a cupcake tree of brightly frosted cupcakes with rings set on them :).
