cupcake wars and american girls

We hosted a cupcake wars at the kitchen today. It was a camp, but we have done so many of these birthday parties I think I can run them in my sleep. 
This is still one of my favorite parties. I came up with it when we first opened the kitchen and we tweaked, adjusted, and baked until it was perfection. 
I love when my girls participate and I love when they are judges. I love watching when B runs the show and see how he changes things to better suit him. I love when the kids leave and I hear them telling their parents “that was the best party EVER!!”. I love when those same kiddos come back again and again for parties and camps. 
It’s an amazing feeling knowing I get to part of something really special. We send kids out the door with big smiles and lots of cupcakes. That’s not a bad day.

We hosted a double sleepover – American Girl Doll style. Annie and Kate spent the night and brought their dolls and had a blast. Annie and Gwyneth were asleep first. Kate and Annabelle were the last to sleep and the first awake. I love these gals and I appreciate how well they all play together. With my girls only being a year apart I love when their interests and friendships overlap.
