A very Rainbow Birthday party

Since they are always singing and asking us to sing the "Rainbow song", we decided to do a Rainbow theme birthday party.  We had the party at my parents house and had lots of rainbow themed snacks while we swam.  The kids had a blast and it turned out really cute!  My friend Beverly took pictures and Katie Madsen did the banner and invitations.  It all turned out perfect!!  There were a lot of cute pics, so it was hard for me to edit.  But here is a smattering of the fun.  As usual, Zeke was too excited to hold still for a pic.  But Beverly managed to get a few cut pics of him while he played!

The food table.
The full menu was a fruit tray, veggie platter, Trix Treats (Trix in stead of Rice Krispies), Colors Goldfish Crackers , Cupcakes, Marshmallow kabobs, Mini Corn dogs, 12 layer Jello-o and Skittles, Twizzlers, M&M's,  Lollipops, and Rolos (you need a pot of gold, right?) to add some more sugar to the already sugar-heavy list.  Awesome.  I might have gone into a sugar coma.  Then at the last minute, Jake informed me he was making a rainbow cake.  It was amazing. He may do his own post on it later.

My cupcakes were rainbow also.  Layer by layer.  They turned out so yummy!
The infamous Lough 12-layer Jello.  A thanksgiving staple at our house, but it needed to be at the party.  NEEDED.
Yummy food!


Katie Madsen designed the banners.   Turned out SO CUTE!!

Jake's awesome Rainbow Cake.
My mom made these super cute outfits for the twins.  And as a surprise, she made these amazing Dolls.  Love it!

After giving each kids a turn (Ethan was a champ!) Daddy helped Zeke break it open.



Hazel had no interest. 

But we helped her get some candy any way we could.
She eventually got the hang of it. 

Zeke loved his new trains.  And the pinata carnage. 
 Thanks to everyone who helped out and all the friend who came!  We all had a blast!
