Last night, we had 12 girls here for a cooking party to celebrate Taylor's big day. They began by decorating chef hats with foam letters and gel pens.
Look at the cute chefs! They are ready to get cookin.
Chef Felicia demonstates how to roll out the pizza dough.
Chef Jaden looks like a pro as she puts the toppings on her pizza.
While the pizzas baked in the oven, the girls made their salad skewers. I don't even think they realized they were eating healthy!
After eating their creations, it was time for games. We began with Taylor sporting this beautiful apron covered in kitchen essentials. The girls had one minute to make a mental note of all she was wearing. Then she left the room and the girls had three minutes to write all 15 items down.
They also completed a cooking word scramble and laughed hysterically at Blindfold the Chef. I filled one bowl with popcorn, blindfolded the chef, handed them a spoon and gave them one minute to transfer the popcorn from one bowl to the next. Who knew we would have such a mess? But the giggles were worth it. Emily demonstrates how its done, although not very neatly!
Time for presents! What great gift ideas! Taylor loved her cookbooks, clothes, Food Network magazine subscription, games, jewelry and gift cards. She is so lucky to have such wonderful friends.
The last activity of the night was making ice cream sundaes. The girls piled on the oreos, M & M's, whipped cream, syrup and cherries. They will be on a sugar high for days. Happy 9th Birthday Taylor! We love you!
We sent the girls home with one of our favorite cookies and the recipe to try at home. A thank you to all of her "sweet" friends.
