The birthday boy. I love him. ALOT. That is all I will say because if I say more…I will most definitely start crying again.
The cake…thank you Trina, for saving me yet again. Yes, there is a story behind the cake. Long story short…I am not a “details” person and Trina, one of my bf’s knows this. She always bails me out and Coco’s birthday was not exception. She called me on the morning of the party and I was all upset because I had forgotten about Cohen’s miniature cake for him to tear into at the party. I had Michael run to Wal-Mart that morning and of course all they had was some butt-ugly cake that was seafoam green and “coral’ (aka ugly pink) with blue, green, and yellow scary-ugly sea horses all over it. Trina bailed me out and went to Target to get this ridiculously cute cake that was of course, perfect. She IS a details person which is why she is so perfect for me. Thank God I have friends who loves me despite my MANY faults. Trina, I owe you….but then again, I always do!
The eating of the cake….he was not a big fan. Thank goodness he has a mom who loves sweets…I was more than happy to help him out. FYI…Super Target has YUMMY cakes. This was one of the best cakes I have ever tasted AND I think they did an awesome job of decorating it. Especially since they threw it together on the morning of the party. Oh and the best part…it only cost $6!
The cupcakes and plates. I guess I forgot to mention that it was a “ball-themed” party. I made the invitations and they said, “Let’s have a BALL” and had bouncing balls all over them. Then we had beach balls all over, ball pits, and “balls” (aka polka dots”) all over the decorations.
The party favors….
My favorite part….THE FOOD! I am big on carrying the theme of the party throughout…even with the food. So all the food was round and ball-shaped of course
1. Stuffed mushrooms – I have the yummiest and easiest recipe. I will have to share it in another post!
2. Homemade cinnamon rolls – this is another post as well. I made the Pioneer Woman’s recipe from scratch and of course, they were DELICIOUS! I have a few mistakes I made though and have some suggestions for how to NOT make my mistakes if you are going to make them. Again, I will post about that later.
3. Spinach dip with round veggies – cucumbers, carrots, and cherry tomatoes
4. Round fruit – banana slices, grapes, oranges, and blueberries
5. Sausage Balls – I have a quick, yummy, and easy recipe for these as well.
6. Coffee Punch – the yummiest drink EVER.
I will share the recipes in a later post!
THE BALL PIT – Birthday boy’s bf Jackson has one of his balls and he is scheming on how to steal it back.
More ball pit action.
THE TABLE – I am sick about not thinking to move the chairs in the picture so I could get a better shot. That is what happens when trying to play mom, photographer, hostess, and birthday coordinator all at the same time. Not the best picture but oh well!
Again, NOT a good picture but it is stinkin’ hilarious. This is what happens when you try to get 8 babies and 8 moms in one picture while their are twenty other older siblings running around screaming outside while trying to take the said pictures…it is pretty much impossible. But I just had to post it anyways….because it makes me laugh.
