Doc McStuffin Birthday party

I made a card for the Sprout channel. It was chosen and shown on air!

Here is the video! Interesting note-my cousin is married to Kelly's best friend. (this host!)  I sent her a personal note along with the card and I swear she shares a special look right at the camera just for us!

At two years old, Lily didn't quite understand that is HER card on TV but someday she will know how hard Mommy worked for her 2nd birthday!

My sister works at Children's Hospital and got us Patient bands. Everyone had their name on theirs.

My sister used her Cricut machine to make these ADORABLE Doctor bags for treats. She used a different pattern and just changed the colors and added a bandaid to make Doc McStuffins doctor bags!

I found some tin cans at the thrift store and painted them white. I added the red cross and bought some bandaids, tongue depressors and cotton balls.  Kids love bandaids!!

This video walks you through all the favors, decorations and more. I forgot to take a picture of the "Big Book of Boo Boos" I made for each kid. 

My sister, Debbie came through once again and made "Thermometer" chocolate pretzels. These went quickly and were a big hit!!

I came up with this idea all on my own. Chocolate shots!!  I went to our local grocery store and asked for some syringes (needle free, of course!)  They sold me all of these for $2.00   Next I squirted frosting inside.  This is a shot everyone can love!

My Mom has an overhead projector. I borrowed it and made a large Chilly so the kids could play "Pin the nose on Chilly."  They turned out to be a bit young and didn't quite get the hang of it but they sure did have fun trying. :)

Lily's "Doctor" cake

Lily had a lovely time. I enjoy now showing her the party because she doesn't really remember it. Someday, she can look back and see how much work her Mommy did for her birthday. You may wonder why I do so much?  All I can say is I LOVE planning parties!!

Hello Kitty waffles!

Isn't this the cutest thing? My daughter, Lily likes Hello Kitty. My husband found this waffle maker at the thrift store. It was so super clean and spotless I'm not sure it has ever been used. I just had to whip up some waffle batter and test it out!

Here is the waffle recipe I used: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/waffles-i/

The waffles come out as these adorable characters! The only problem is they are SO cute my daughter didn't want to play with them at first. She thought they were toys. lol

I had to turn them over and show her the "waffle" side. We put butter and syrup in the little sections. THEN, she was more willing to eat! These are adorable and I made a extra so I could set some back. If you're going to go through the trouble of making pancakes, you might as well double the recipe and save some! Waffles are great heated up in the toaster or toaster over the next day so why not make extra!
