Yay! It’s a Unicorn party!

 

We have a unicorn cake and girly paper products (I’m pretty sure that purple was my favorite color at the time.). I’m not sure what’s up with the circus-themed party hats, but my guess is it’s the only hats that mom could find so she went with it.
 

Watching a movie…my guess is that it was “The Last Unicorn”, one of my favorites.

I think this is the first time that I’ve posted and I know who all of my guests are. Yay for me!

Jenn’s 5th Birthday Party 1984

(a.k.a. Happy Birthday to me!)

 
 
 
 
 
 

My 5th birthday party was none other than…Herself the Elf!
Complete with a Herself the Elf cake, made by my mom, and Herself the Elf paper products!

 
 
 
 

 

I’m not sure who the little blond boy on the left is. It’s quite possible that he just has chubby cheeks, but to me it looks as though he has them puffed out to blow out my candles! How rude! Everyone knows that only the birthday child gets to spit all over the cake before everyone eats it!
 
 
 
 
 

Don’t you wish that you had a sweatshirt with panda butts on it?  Eat your heart out!



When I saw this photo I couldn’t remember what the name of my sister’s doll was. I tried to do a search for 80s crawling baby dolls but baby “Oopsie Daisy” kept coming up. It just didn’t look like the same doll to me. Somehow I managed to come across this doll Piccolo Luca. This definitely looks like the right doll, but I couldn’t find an “Americanized” version of it. I thought for-sure it had some kind of catchy name. Guess not.

 This was my largest party yet, in terms of guests, and this time there’s only 3 strangers there! I don’t know who the 2 boys on the right are, nor do I know the girl on the right. I do believe, though, that they are siblings (whoever they are).

Jenn’s 4th Birthday Party 1983

(a.k.a. Happy Birthday to me!)

For my 4th birthday I had an awesome castle cake! I can’t really see the paper products well enough to know the exact “theme” of the party…but it’s all about the cake anyway, right?! Well, me and the cake 😉

 


 
 
That’s me and Cheer Bear. Cheer Bear somehow got misplaced over the years and I’m disappointed. I’m not thrilled with the new Care Bears and would’ve loved to have given my original to Adaline. Oh well, at least she’ll have a good collection of 80s Barbies to play with!
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 


Oh yes, that’s a Care Bears nightgown!  Let us all jump with excitement! 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

I don’t know who that boy is clear over to the right. I also don’t know what the poor person next to him did to not even deserve to be in the picture. Except for the elbow, the elbow is very important.

Jenn’s 3rd Birthday Party 1982

Sep 3

(a.k.a. Happy Birthday to me!)
 
 
 
 

My 3rd Birthday started off with a visit from Pinky the Clown who delivered a big bunch of balloons. Oooooo-Awwwww.

 

The theme of the party was Wizard of Oz. If you look closely at the paper products you can see The Scarecrow, Lion, etc. (Yes, I typed etc. because it would be just too time-and-space consuming to type out Tinman and Dorothy, but now it’s all pointless anyway because I used all of these words to make fun of myself).

 

 

Unfortunately this photo above is the only picture that I have of the cake 😦 It looks as though it was probably The Emerald City with a rainbow over it.
In the photo below it looks as though mom made individual rainbow cakes for each of the kids. (Wow, mom, that’s pretty ambitious!)

 
 
 

 

 

The girl on my right is my cousin, but I have no idea who the three boys to my left are.

Open House: Dominic’s Nursery

Sep 2

Posted by


*This post was originally published in September 2010 and I have since then changed my blog theme and layout several times resulting in issues with older posts that have pictures. The pictures are sometimes too big, too small, or too “smooshy”. At this time I don’t have the time to re-post the photos to correct this. Clicking on the photo to enlarge it should solve your smooshy problems. Thank you.*

Just because it’s so cute, I thought I’d give you a look at my nephew, Dominic’s, nursery even though it’s not even in my house! My mom decorated the nursery. Most of the décor is from the Hobby Lobby, I just kept piling stuff in my cart (don’t you love spending other people’s money?!). The theme is antique toys. Mostly you’ll see sports and mobile related things. These photos were taken before the room was entirely complete so there are probably a few details missing. I think it’s adorable.

*Open House: Dominic’s Nursery
*Open House: Master Bedroom
*Open House: Laundry Room
*Open House: Family Room
*Open House: Storage
*Open House: My Mama’s Kitchen
I still haven’t added the living room or kitchen yet. Let me know if you’d like to see them. The more interest there is the more likely I am to make the time to do it!

(a.k.a. Happy Birthday to me!)

Unfortunately, I don’t have many photos of my second birthday.
The few photos that I have aren’t very good, so this will be a short post.

Theme: Holly Hobbie

Above is the Holly Hobbie cake that my mom made, and the back of my head!

I am the shadowy girl in the darkness.
