Halloween

here's what we've been up to the past week ... remember, our famous decadent cupcakes are a welcome addition to any occasion

a little affair can accessorize your food ... and suggest party menus ...

our candy apple kits were enjoyed here, we hope everyone who purchased them had a fun time too!

Sweet Candy Party

After many months of planning, the party has finally arrived.

Our Sweet lil Jordy turned 3!!!

the candy bar was as a huge hit for all ages. the bar was filled with a ton of candy from candy buttons to tootsie rolls and of course toothbrushes!!!

as the guests left the party they filled a brown paper bag with treats.

handmade invites with glittery pencils and cello with rainbow colored ribbons where hand delivered a few weeks prior to the party.

colored lanterns wrapped in cello filled the backyard as well as large pinwheels and of course a few bubblegum centerpieces customized with "Happy Birthday SWEET Jordyn"
lemonade and pop shopped soda's are always a great
refreshing drink on a warm day.

a lollipop centerpiece was the prize for the
guess the number of gumballs game.
lil Jordy loved her cake provided by
Roseanne of Lavish Cake Designs http://www.roseanne-lavishcakedesign.blogspot.com
the cake had gummy bears on one tier (jordy's fav) and chocolate chips on another with confetti cake.

It wasn't just stunning it was yummy too!!!

what party wouldn't be complete without a candy shoppe built by daddy. we played the old fashion potato sac game that had us all in tears. Jordy's big sis had a hard time losing as you can see.

A super duper BIG Thank- you to Susie Turner for taking the hundreds of awesome pics...she captured every moment. WE lOVE YOU tons.

I had a great time planning my sweet lil jordy's party and we'd love to help you with your kids next party so why not use a little affair and save the stress.

we love parties as you can see!!!

the party began at 10am. the children arrived with their easter baskets and rain boots and then we gathered in the family room for an easter story read by cheryl....

we proceeded to the ravine in our backyard for the egg hunt. each child looked for eggs with their initial on it (eggs were stuffed with tattoos, buttons, bouncy balls, stickers & chocolates, of course). as we crossed the shallow water, a few of us got soakers, all part of the fun!

after the egg hunt we headed back to the backyard where the kids decorated eggs (we hollowed them out) with rhinestones, gems & diamonds and of course shimmer dust. they did a great job in not cracking them. finally it was time to have some easter treats and yummo cupcakes.

as the kids left, taylor gave each child a bead kit customized in easter colors with a thank you tag attached.

i had a fantastic day and the planning was super fun and i just can't wait till next year!!!

please leave us your comments, we'd love to hear them!
