twinkle, twinkle little star baby shower

my sister is expecting her 4th child and her wishes were to have a small, intimate shower with her closest friends and family. the girls had lunch, played some games and chatted the afternoon away. later on the guys all joined us for more food, presents and dessert. it was a great day and we had so much fun celebrating her family.
i've always thought this theme was adorable and was excited to use it.




 

i just think these confetti balloons are so adorable.




i had fun using edible star glitter to sprinkle all over the brownies








we spent a lot of time outside..playing games, chatting and enjoying the beautiful weather
the girls all got to take home a succulent from this table. 













 thank you to my mom for making this yummy carrot cake..my sister's favorite.



 i catered lucilles and as always it was delightful!
 one of the prizes i picked up.


 sweet dreams!:)




halloween party

we love halloween around here. so, naturally a good old fashioned halloween party was in order!
i got lazy (and ran out of time) and didn't even pull out my camera. so, unfortunately all i have is my phone pics and it was basically me taking the pictures as i went. so i apologize for the quality and the randomness. here's a look around...













 decorating items, and fun treats for the kids, including glo necklaces, etc.


 
 cookie decorating table





 we hadn't dressed up in years!! i forgot how much fun it is!!
 everyone had such great costumes, i wish i would have snapped pics of each and every one.
 the bubble fog machine was definitely a hit with the kids!

 pumpkin treats!!

 we even decorated the playground and tried to make their little playhouse into a haunted, spooky house.







 there was bobbing for apples...





 and a pumpkin toss...

 and of course donuts on a string!
 and cookie decorating..


such a fun night!!:)
