A 1/2 Birthday Celebration

Happy 1/2 birthday to Andrew. Because Andrew's birthday is so close to Christmas we chose to celebrate with presents, etc. in June. He had a fabulous day. Complete with a party, presents and a treat from the ice cream truck.




Birthday breakfast of Lucky Charms.

So, we did what I call a Smart Mom's (or Lazy Mom's) birthday party. We invited everyone to the lake and let everyone play. I didn't plan a single game or have to worry about anyone being entertained. I brought some snacks to serve along with the cupcakes and the whole thing couldn't have been better. We had 9 children at the party with no mess at my house and everyone had a great time.
A cupcake birthday cake. We decided that since the party was at the beach cupcakes would be the easiest. It's not the best decorating job, but I invented a new frosting that tastes great and is easy to decorate with. It will make things a little easier in the future.

Sounds like a smart-mom's party. What's the recipe for your great frosting?

A block of softened cream cheese, about a 1/3 C of powdered sugar (this is a guesstimate), pinch of salt and a tub of cool whip. We loved it. I beat the cream cheese add the sugar/salt, beat some more. Add cool whip, beat some more.
