Mamie's PJs and Pancakes (or waffles) Party

For Mamie's 10th birthday party, we had all of her friends come over for breakfast wearing their pjs.  I was able to use some of the decorations from Margaret's party which was nice.

They watched cartoons while we were waiting on everyone to arrive.

After that, they helped themselves to a breakfast buffet of Gibson's donut holes (in powdered sugar, glazed and cinnamon sugar), several kinds of cereals, fruit kabobs, orange juice and milk.

We also had a make-your-own waffle bar with syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips and sprinkles.  I decided it would be easier to do waffles than pancakes since I could make them earlier in the morning and keep them warm in the oven.

After breakfast they decorated pillowcases using fabric markers.  They all signed each others'.  I was so impressed by their creativity.  They turned out so cute!

We had one other activity which was a breakfast cereal quiz.  I actually had another game planned, but we ran out of time.

Instead of a cake and to keep with the breakfast theme, I made a modified version of these rice krispie treat cupcakes.  They were really cute and yummy!

For favors, the girls took home their pillowcases and a mini box of cereal with a personalized spoon.

Mamie is so blessed to have such sweet friends!  It was a really special day.
