So I know it's a little old, but we can blame it on the holidays... ;-) Forgive me, I wasn't sure of the whole blog world...
My ittle angel turned 4 in December. This year was a back yard party!! I think when they are still young yard parties are great, especially when your kids have December & February parties, so the pool is not an option, even here in FL. We get cold too... We got a bounce house with a slide. My oldest daughter, Averie, insisted on the slide. So we used http://www.bouncybiz.com/, my ex's cousin's company. Anyway, I had 12 kids all but 2 under the age of 5. It was a great day and fun was had by all.
For the food ~ I'm a believer that kids will eat if you give them the right stuff. Their menu consisted of mini sandwiches. Ham & swiss, turkey & chedder & pbj's. We cut them out with mimi cookie cutters in different shapes. They also had cheese & crackers and fruit. They ate it all. No one used plates but at least they all ate. The adults had pizza. My mother in law made homemade pizzas and I made a BBQ chicken pizza & a Thai Chicken pizza.
The cake... well it was the inspiration of the whole party. My girlfriend, Leslie, http://www.hungryhousewife.blogspot.com/ made a "cupcake cake" for her neice. I loved it. So we borrowed the cupcake cakepan. Too cute!! I did a trial run, Adyson loved it!! Her own cupcake. Which at 4 they only eat frosting anyway.
A backyard party in December??? Oh you lucky thing...
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cake!!
Yes a outdoor event in December, however today I woke up to frost in my windshield... told the boss if it snows I'm not coming to work!! It was in the 30's here last night!! What?? I thought this was sunny Florida... believe me I have more flip flops than boots I shouldn't complain...
