I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Kaitlyn is really 11! I can not imagine life without her. She is such a fun kid. We decided to do a "luau" for her birthday party. She invited a few friends from school... and wished she could have invited a few other friends, but holy cow, she has way too many!!
My amazing sister (who just gave birth a few days before) made this cake! I felt so guilty that she was doing it, but she acted like it was no biggie. If you have ever seen my usual cakes, you will understand why I would want her to do it. AWESOME!! The girls thought the flip-flop cakes were AMAZING, and I completely agree.
And with the "leftover" piece of cake, she did this: Not flip-flops, but still dang cute!
They had a hula-hooping contest. It was their idea to do it blindfolded...
The birthday girl:
Then of course, it was present time!
All the girls
I have to say... I hated to cut those cute cakes. But they sure tasted good!
So, we had grilled hot dogs for dinner (which represented "roast pig" at a luau... HEHE), did the hula contest, limbo (which was pretty entertaining), and then at the end, the girls watched a movie: Ramona and Beezus. They loved it.

What a great idea for a birthday party. I love the cake.
I had no idea that both of your girls' birthdays are in Dec. I think it is rather hard. In fact I will probably still this luau idea in the future. Looks like she had a great time. Happy birthday to Kaitlyn.
What a fun party! And yes, I am in awe of the cake!!! Jess is amazing!! You seem to handle December birthdays very well.. I can't imagine throwing a birthday party right before Christmas but I guess I will have to learn :)
