An amazing AND fun day with family and friends!
I wanted to just share with you some snap shots of the party. Here we go...
Yummy berry lemonade punch and silly straws make having a refreshing drink so much fun!
Mmmmm...chocolate chip scones made another appearance along with some yogurt parfaits.
Pretty paper cones filled with sugary sweet cotton candy
Flowers were yellow and two shades of pink :o) in mason jars with lemons. So fresh and pretty.
The girls became fairies with tutus I made for them and fairy wands made of felt and ribbons.
Each tutu had a little girl's name on it and they had to find them hanging from the trees.
I love this photo of them finding their own tutu and Fairy Cati looking on full of excitement.
I made baby fairy wands with Popsicle sticks instead of dowels to keep those little ones safe.
Fairy Cati finding some treasure.
Fairy Ella refused her Fairy Tutu and was somewhere clinging to her daddy.
Cati's birthday pin.
Here are the felt eye patches and telescopes I made for the pirates but you can kind see them in the photos of all the cute pirates. The telescopes were made from the tulle tubes I used for the tutu's.
Instead of one cake, I used a muffin tin to make individual little ice cream cakes topped with hot fudge, Oreo crumbles, and whipped cream. The bottom was also Oreo crumbles.
P.S. If any of you Sweet Friends want to know how I made anything just let me know and I would be happy to do a tutorial later. Just wanted to give you a party glimpse for now.
OK then. Off to RELAX!
WOW! What a gorgeous party and a wonderful way to celebrate the beautiful blessing of your two little girls.

ReplyDeleteI was planning on doing tutus and pirate eye patches for my daughter's b-day that is coming up, but I hadn't thought of telescopes. What a great idea!! It looks like it was a beautiful party and I bet all those kiddos had a great time!

Thanks for sharing your pictures!!! What beautiful memories you made for those little dollies!
ReplyDeleteOh my word!!! You outdid yourself!!! AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteIt really was an amazing party for the girls. My favorite picture had to be Cati's smile as she's about to blow out her candles. It's gotta be worth all the time and effort just for that. We were so grateful to be a part of their special day, and I can only imagine, after looking at all the pictures, how much TIME and LOVE you put into it...(and I thought I was tired on Saturday!!). Thanks for the wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteCuteness! Everything looks so good. The yogurt parfaits looks so good, and the ice cream...reallllly good! Fun stuff!
ReplyDeleteWell, you are probably sick of me saying this but I will say it again anyway. You. Are. Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Jess....you are such a great mama, a creative soul who's heart is much too big for the rest of her.
Excellent!!
