(cue the Olympic theme song and Bob Costas)
We love the Olympics over here at the Aars household. I wouldn't say we are Olympic obsessed—we're not that extreme. We're more like Olympic nerds, and proud of it.
So it only felt right to have a little homemade Olympic fun while ushering in "London 2012" (or, all the fun a 19 month-old with a 7:30 bed time can have, anyways).
The evening wouldn't be complete without:
The Olympic rings: one standing for each continent. (Super easy construction, just card stock and twine)
THE Olympic torch. Don't tell Isaiah it's not the real one. He gets upset. (Rolled white card stock with red, orange, and yellow tissue paper)
And gold medal cupcakes! (same recipe as here, minus the strawberries, and with edible gold flake sprinkles)
We've even got the Refueling Station set up (a.k.a. gatorade cocktails). ;)
Here's to a great weekend...Happy watching!

super cute!
You only have seven cupcakes pictured. Since London 2012 started an hour and a half ago, I've already won 12 gold medals. And I expect my awards ceremony tonight.
The problem is my jet lag. But for your baked goods, it's worth the flight.
By the way, Isaiah was disqualified for veering off the track and hiding in the Olympic Village's pantry. So I get his medals, too.
I love your Olympic spirit!! So creative and fun!
Thanks Terri and Jenny! And Michael...be honest, did Isaiah "veer" off track or was he "lured"?
Cheater.
Love! Stephen and I are so excited for the Olympics, too. I think our DVR might explode from the number of events we've scheduled it to record.
