Birthday Bash

 
 
 
I threw Makayla and Robbie a combined birthday party since their birthdays are only 2 days apart.The party was on Makayla's actual birthday and  I could not be more happier with how it all turned out, it was a lot of work, but it was amazing and looked exactly how I pictured it to look!!
 
This was the gift table 
 
 


 
Maybe I should do a tutorial on the pom poms lol everyone was asking me how I made them, they are pretty easy and look so cute
 

 
 

 
Makayla had a total of 11 friends there, and there were a few that were unable to make it, but it was a good turn out. Robbie had a few friends there too, we had a pinata that had candy and little toys inside, the pinata didn't hold up well, all the kids were unable to have a turn hitting it before it busted open, but no one seemed to care as they were running for all the goodies



 
We also had a  bounce house in the backyard, the kids had such a blast playing in that thing (thanks to my neighbor who let us borrow it)  I set up a table for their gift bags for them to take home it included bubbles, bracelets, necklaces, other little toys and candy from the pinata, and for Robbies little baby friends they got to take home a little stuffed animal dog, all the babies seemed to love them and all snuggled them.  I also labeled the water bottles, they turned out darling



 
the menu included..
 
-Ham and cheese sandwiches (shaped as flowers)
-PB&J sandwiches (shaped as flowers)
-chips
-strawberry yogurt
-blueberries
-strawberries
-grapes
-water bottles
-marshmallow pops
-mini candy buffet
-cupcakes
 
Doesn't it all look so cute! and really it was the perfect amount of healthy and sweets.  I must say I made butter cream frosting for the first time (I usually make cream cheese frosting) and yum it was pretty delish.  I don't really like the butter cream that most places make, but mine was super good



We have such great friends and our kids have such great friends, thank you everyone who came to their birthday and showered our kids with love.
 

 
I decided not to do cakes for them and just do cupcakes for everyone and so glad I did, it was perfect! Robbie was totally loving the frosting, he was in heaven.  Makayla got all shy and her reaction when everyone was singing to her was pretty cute.  The party was a huge success!!!!! Cant believe Makayla is 4 and Robbie is 1!!!!

  1. Happy Birthday Makayla and Robbie! Their party turned out so cute! I remember you telling me you weren't going to attempt a party but I'm glad you did, it looks adorable! I'm glad you were able to celebrate with so many good friends! And your trip to Disneyland looked like it was a blast as well! Glad you had a good month (minus Makayla's valentine's meltdown LOL) But at least you got shopping and a massage out of it :)
