Cheerleading Party

I'm working on several projects right now, but I can't share them yet! I've got a ton of stuff that I'm preparing for my family's girls getaway weekend but since many of them look at my blog I can't share pics until after the event. I want it all to be a surprise for them! So since my son has been getting so much "blog time" with his birthday I thought I'd highlight my daughters birthday from a few months back before I was a blogger.

We did a cheerleading theme this year! Which I was TOTALLY excited about since I used to be a cheerleader =).....Go CHIEFS!


I made t-shirts for all the girls with their names on them. I used iron ons to do this that I printed off of my own printer. I also made ribbons for their hair. I used puffy paint and wrote thier names on the ends of the ribbon. Each girl also got their own pair of pom poms.

I used those thin foam sheets and cut out the shape of a megaphone. Each girl decorated their megaphone. Before they left I printed out the group pic and adhered it to the megaphone so that it was basically a picture frame.

To make the pennant I bought sheets of felt and cut them into triangles. I glued them to a piece of ribbon and then I used pre-cut out letters that I glued to the felt triangles to display her name.

Again I used the cupcake stand. This time I topped it off with a mini pom pom and each cupcake was topped off with a tiny meagaphone that I made out of white chocolate and had the girls individual initials on them.

On the table there were more mini pom poms and little jars of orange colored candy to match the orange theme of the day!

We have a trampoline and so I taught the girls some cheerleading jumps. I also made up a short dance to teach them, but most of them were not interested in doing that...go figure. Oh well, I still gave them the cd of the song I had made the dance up to. (rockin' robin)

It was fun! And I never realized how much my daughter looks like me until I saw this picture!
