Our granddaughter is in what is called Chinese immersion in her elementary school where the children are taught Chinese half of the day. It is AMAZING how fast the kids pick it up! So now she loves all things Chinese….so for her 7th birthday she decided that she wanted a Chinese birthday party!
So my daughter painted this dragon for pin the tail on the dragon game and the kids loved it!
A chocolate ruffled cake with dragons on the top (thanks to my hubby for supplying a lot of the decor for the party from all his travels to Asia)
The kids were so adorable!
A few were hamming it up at the impromptu “dance party”
Lining up to play pin the eye on the dragon!
Our granddaughter in her red Chinese dress…so dang cute!
A mix of old and new party decorations that I had from past parties you may remember the
bridal shower here and the black red and white
wedding we held in our backyard or maybe the
Beauty and the Beast Party I love re-using decorations!
This huge Chinese fan has been hanging around our house for a few years now! You can see it here on the wall when we held a
Chinese dinner for our youngest daughters prom when we lived in Texas
Over the last 7 years Ella had such a fun birthday parties! One of my favorites has got to be the
Frozen party or her
Pink Princess party oh gosh there are so many fun parties I just can’t pick and favorite right now 😉
Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
