Super Sawyer

Sawyer has been asking for a superhero birthday party for quite some time and while we didn’t make plans for a big, invite-the-entire-population-of-the-eastern-plains party, she wanted to hang out with the “Kruegers and they” so that’s exactly what we did!

A friend of mine had bought this CUTE cape-included shirt for her daughter and when I saw it, I knew Sawyer had to have it for her party; it served as the inspiration for everything else we did.

We made her wrist bands out of felt and foam and attached them with velcro…

We made a little mask, but she mainly wore it as a headband (which I thought looked cuter anyways).

As I was taking pics of her, a special guest was getting ready in the mudroom…

She had NO idea and her face was priceless!

She loves her super daddy!

For the background of the party, we made a foam city scape, sprayed it black and then glued on foam squares to act as windows.

We had the big ‘S’ from a previous project so we added a cape and called it cute!

I hung some star adorned poms from the light fixture and did my best 5 minute free hand of the logo from her shirt…

threw some cute bunting and balloons on the stairs…

and added super Sawyer to the backdoor and called it good!

Sawyer doesn’t really get into cake I made an ice cream sandwich cake…which she also ate none of.  She did think it looked cute – that’s half the battle right?!

We made some picks out of paper and foam and stuck them to the whipped cream topping on the cake and I must say I really, really like how it turned out!

We made a few cake pops, adorned with capes, obviously…

and had her favorite pink punch!I was really happy with how everything turned out for as quickly and cheaply as we put it all together.  Most importantly, the birthday girl was stoked!

I love her to pieces!
