We celebrated Sydney's birthday on a beautiful, sunny day in the park. The weather couldn't have been more pleasant and the company was even better. The hubby bbqed hamburgers & hot dogs and my mother-in-law made enough sides to feed an army. There were sweets galore and strawberries, strawberries, everywhere! It was a fun day. We even got some huge smiles out of my shy, little shortcake. She loved the bounce house and dressing up in her party dress. I can't believe in a few short days, she will be 3.
Anyway, I'll let the photos tell the story of the day.
Sydney & Kate in thier Sweet Stuff Creations shirts. Thanks Wendi!
These were super simple to make. I dipped some mini wafer cookies in hot pink candy melts & added the sugar cube strawberry. Yum!
Strawberry cookies by Sydney's request. She helped by adding sprinkles & by eating the broken cookies. :)
The jumping bean & the jumper!
Ribbon & fabric garland.
I made these centerpieces for about $3 each. I got the baskets 2/$1 at Dollar Tree. I added some ribbon and the little strawberry plant 6/$3. I made the tall signs with a free download I got here.
Ribbon mobile. This was so fun to make & the photo does not do it justice. I want to make these for my Etsy store when I'm ambitious enough to reopen it. Someday soon I will have more time to get it going again.
Painted rocks. Sydney and I had fun painting these and they now reside in her garden.
The marshmallow pops were a hit!
My sweet girls rocking out.
My mom made this banner for Sydney's 1st birthday & we've hung it up every year since. I love it!
My mom made this sweet little crown. I measured Sydney's head while she slept the night before the party & I didn't do a good job. The crown was a little too small but we managed to clip it on with a hair bow. You can't tell by the photo, but she loved her "pwincess hat".
Stephen and Sydney picked out this silly guy. I ordered a strawberry pinata from Party City but when it arrived Stephen thought it was too small. (Pinatas are serious business in his family. LOL!) Anyway, he took Sydney to pick out a new (gigantic) one. This is what they came home with! haha! Stephen loved that he threw a wrench into the "theme". The laugh is on him though because I manged to make it work. ;-)
Here is the photo of Mister Froggy being decapitated.
Sydney waiting patiently for the candy to hit the ground.
Me & my girl
