I decided that it would be fun for us to start the tradition of celebrating half birthdays because a year is so long to wait for a birthday and our kids aren't spoiled enough ;-) Elliott is so into pretending to have birthday parties and pretend wrapping stuff up I thought she'd really enjoy it. Yesterday was the perfect day for such a celebration because we were waiting on this "huge" ice storm to hit so we stayed inside all day. This is what we do in Texas when the weather threatens to drop a quarter inch of ice on us. Pretty sad. Staying inside also gave the perfect opportunity for a Pajama Day. Lucky for us Chris came home early, Elliott immediately ordered him into his pajamas and he got to celebrate with us!
We half painted our nails. Half pink and Half purple.
Then we made Half a Birthday cake (which was really a brownie cake because we thought that sounded yummy and it is automatically half the size of a cake) Notice E in a SUNdress on the icy day, she only participated in the second half of pajama day, because each morning she is desperate to put on a dress after spending all night without one.
What a perfect catch there- she thought I was gone.
Then we opened birthday presents that were Half wrapped
Sang Happy Birthday (my camera died so there are no pictures). Ate our birthday brownies on Half a paper plate. It was so much fun!

i LOVE that! i might just copy you... maybe in 2 1/2 years. :-)
Great idea. I may have to copy you so we can have a pool party for Cassie in July. I have been wanting to do it since she was one because having a Birthday party in Jan. can be tricky as you know :)
How creative! I love the 1/2 birthday idea...and that you thought to cut the plate in half!! So clever!!!
You have the best ideas, Chrissy!
