Star Wars Birthday Party

For my son's 9th birthday party he wanted a Star Wars themed sleepover. I have a week old baby and am still adjusting to his sleeping/eating schedule, so I felt like this party was a little thrown together. Still I was happy with the results, and most importantly my son was EXTREMELY satisfied. My husband even got into the planning with me once I told him some of my ideas...he is still a kid at heart!

 

 

 

 

 
All of the children received a lightsaver made out of a pool noodle.  Logan loved this favor because he helped make them.

Sugar and Spice Baby Shower

I was thrilled for my sister-in-law when I found out she was pregnant.  She and her husband had been trying to start a family for a few years and when they told me they were expecting (on my birthday no less, what a great present!!!), I couldn't wait to plan her shower! 

I knew I wanted a candy buffet.  Seriously - they are so fun and yummy too!

I made tiered dessert trays for each table.  They were super easy!  Just cardboard cake plates with cardstock on top and ribbon around the edges.  I used cans of veggies wrapped in cardstock to go in between each layer. 

Loved my banners too!

Gender Reveal

Preparing for our 2nd child, I KNEW I wanted to have a gender reveal party.  It seemed to sneak up on me though, so I didn't get to do as much as I wanted.  Then the night of the reveal, I was so excited to tell everyone, I didn't get a ton of pictures.  It was still a blast though.

Logan had fun coloring in the "HE" and "SHE" in HERSHEYS.  He didn't stay in the lines, but I had to give up control and just let him roll with it!

Guests had to take a stand and decide BEFORE we cut the cake what they thought we were having. 

IT'S A BOY!!!! 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar Birthday Party

Adorable 1st birthday party for my even more adorable nephew!

Island Bridal Shower

My sister Kim is getting married.  She was my best friend growing up and I just love her to bits!  After several years apart, she reconnected with a good friend of ours from high school.  It's so amazing to see how God works and how His timing is perfect. 

For her shower my mom and sisters decided to go with a honeymoon destination (Caribbean) theme.  Here are some of the details from the shower. 

my mom loves scrapbooking, so of course there was a scrapbook for the shower, it included a copy of the invitation, which I always think is such a good idea to give the guest of honor a copy of the invitation

homemade cake made by a talented friend of the family

a childhood favorite, dirt cake!  instead of regular oreos, we used the white oreos, they turned out adorable!
