there were jars full of toppings and lots of sprinkles

So cute as usual! Loved the different things that the kids made and using large doilies as charger/placemats was smart. So stealing that one. Would love it if you could share your punch recipe. I am always on the lookout for something yummy and best of all pink! Beautiful job and it looks like the kids had a lot of fun.
