Sophie Turns 4

We started the celebration on October 2, Sophie's actual birthday, by going to see Daddy at work and bringing all his lovely co-workers cupcakes! They were, of course, Big Red Cupcakes (red velvet cake) in honor of Clifford. I found a "King Size" cupcake pan by Wilton at the party store and just couldn't resist.


Then that weekend we had my friend Julie and her kids come over for a little party. We had more Big Red Cupcakes and ice cream, Scooby Snacks, and Paw Print cheetos. Sophie opened presents and the kids all played Pin The Dogtag on Clifford. Then they each made their own Clifford by coloring on white paper plates and pasting on red tissue paper, red yarn, red cardstock, and googly eyes. I was amazed at how great they all turned out and how creative and unique they were!

Then the next weekend, we had the whole Levi clan over for the birthday bash. Below is the Clifford cake I made for Sophie to go along with the theme of the party. The only thing Clifford-y I could find in the way of party supplies oneBay was balloons, which Sophie ADORES. I bought up what I could find and did up everything else in the color red. I found a couple of doggy-related snacks (see above about previous party); she seemed quite pleased.
