Pimm’s Punch

Some great friends threw a fantastic party during the Olympics. It was a London themed brunch all out with fish and chips, popovers and jam, shepherds pie, Pimm’s punch (um hello delicious!), Guinness, the Olympics, British attire and to top it all off, a croquet tournament!
Of course I had to make a fascinator, and check out my little chaps…

Cheerio!

Giddy Up Y’all!

Since CHRISTMAS, Carter has been talking about having a “cowboy birthday” So that’s what we did to celebrate his third birthday. I wanted to go all out and have pony rides BUT… he’s only three. (Luckily I didn’t-the weather was cool and WINDY)
Here are some photos of the festivities
                                               Hubby and I were up til midnight making these shirts for the boys, all the kids got one as a party favor (along with cowboy hats and bandanas too)
Happy 3rd Birthday Carter!!!

Ryne’s Birthday Party

We had a low-key family birthday party for Ryne’s first birthday. (The second kid always gets the shaft, we had TWO parties for Carter’s first birthday, one of them with 40+ people and a keg!)
Anyways, It was REALLY nice and fun to actually enjoy the party, rather than worrying about being a good hostess and entertaining everyone.
Happy Birthday Little Man!

Yup, that about sums it up

Valentines Day!

My neighbor and I threw a little Valentines Day party for the kiddos.

the helium balloons we filled the night before did not make it- that’s ok, get creative right?

the “moms” table- like we actually sat down

yummy treats; the menu: breakfast bake, fruit, heart shaped pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream, heart shaped cinnamon rolls, punch, cookies and sweet chex mix. 

the kids jumped on the trampoline and hit balloons with heart paddles
carter and his pals- isn’t it cute how he wrapped his arms around them???
is he not just the cutest???


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
