I made home made strawberry lemonade (yum) for the beverage. We also made cotton candy which was super fun. And delicious.
How adorable are these little yellow hat pastries? I got the idea off of pinterest. The were super easy to make.
Of course I had to make my baby’s candy station boxes. It was fun to not be do them in tiffany blue for a change.
Dylan’s special seating area. Of course the wind made it impossible to photograph. His banner has little Georges on it. I also didn’t have time to add his 12 month photo to his monthly photo banner.
Dylly’s piñata (for the older kids) and a shot of the eating table. All of the plates and decor on it kept blowing away. I swear the wind was my enemy. Again: never again will I do a party in my back yard!
All in all, the party came out great (minus the decor). My baby had a great time and he wasn’t grumpy at all (I planned it for right after his nap and kept the party at 3 hours so he wouldn’t get overtired or over stimulated). I didn’t get a chance to photograph the food (or make myself look presentable due to all of the decor mishaps), but I made jerk chicken, burgers, macaroni and cheese, and grilled vegetables. All of the guests (about 12) said that they had fun, so I guess it wasn’t a fail after all lol. Thanks for reading!
