rainbows

What do you think of when you see a rainbow?

God's promises, hope, beauty...

The same things i think of when I look at our sweet Suzy.

In light of that, we had a rainbow themed party for Suzy's upcoming 4 year old birthday party yesterday!

Even though it was a super busy weekend with our Bible study thanksgiving dinner, family coming in from El salvador and the wedding, the party topped off the fun weekend. I may have gotten into the theme a little too much...a little more than i actually had time for at least, but it turned out so much fun =)

First, I made rainbow cupcakes by separating the batter into 5 different bowls and dying the batter then layering it into the cupcake tins. It was easy but time consuming. I loved the result though:

Here are some more pictures from the fun day of all things rainbow:

this was supposed to represent the gold at the end of the rainbow but maybe it looks a bit pirate-ish...oh well...
