^^ Cowboy boots from granny to fit the theme!
Another party in the books. Another party that I failed at the theme! Oh well it was still a great time. Our gatherings have been getting smaller and smaller with each invitation that gets sent out and I'm totally fine with it; especially seeing as the next coming years will mean having birthday parties with her class. The thought truly terrifies me. Having her BFF over for the day was enough for me!
This time around Kennedy requested a 'horse party'. So the first thing on my agenda was to find an invitation and I ended up with these.
Next up was getting the cake and menu decided (this is where I do really well I think).
- taco salad
- baked beans
- pasta salad
- hot doggies
- hay bales (rice krispies)
- horse snacks (apples, carrots, celery)
Decorations are where I falter. I got grassy table coverings and coordinating inflatable balloons. Next year I think I will start doing games and party favors. Typically I feel like a good meal and desert are appropriate forms of 'payment' but with the amount of regulars being on the small side, these things would be manageable.
But as usual, Kennedy had a wonderful time socializing with everyone, opening her gifts, blowing out the candles and of course begging to open all her new things before she was even done unwrapping everything.
^^ AWWWW, FRIENDS.
^^ Haha, when Kennedy blew out her candles sprinkles went absolutely everywhere.
Also I would like to pat myself on the back for successfully pulling off a naked cake and earning back some street credit with my cake failure from Piper's party. It's safe to say that everyone agreed because all the cake got eaten! I was ecstatic! Cookie cutters make great stencils for decorating.
When things were finally winding down I let her open some of her things and she immediately began creating a masterpiece with her requested art gifts and Piper thought it fitting to wrangle a helium filled horse.
Yee-haw!
