Cooper's Kitchen

Cooper will be 5 on Tuesday and this weekend we celebrated with a Chef's party!  It was so much fun and I think the kids enjoyed creating all of their masterpieces.  We started off by making individual pizzas.  Papa Murphy's has boxed kits for kids to build their own pizzas, so we bought those for each of the kids which made it super easy on us!  Then while the pizzas were baking we played a game where we blindfolded the kids and we gave them something to eat and they had to guess what it was.  One of the little boys was awesome at guessing the correct item.  Then the kids made fruit skewers for appetizers and we finished off with the kids decorating cookie cakes for dessert.  We finally had to just take the icing away from them!  Some of the little girls were just sitting there eating sprinkles the whole time!  It was hilarious!  I think they really had fun decorating their cakes!

 Time for ICING!!!

 The girls were a little more delicate in their use of icing.  You can see Callie on the left with her hand in the sprinkles getting her a bite of pure sugar!

 One of the finished products!  None of the parents were brave enough to try it!  I can't imagine why?

Claire decided she needed to be part of the mustache club!

We had so much fun celebrating Cooper!  It's hard to believe he is 5!  I love this sweet, little boy.  He is kind and compassionate and just easy to be around.  We love you, buddy!!!
