Cigar Party!

This past weekend was my hubby's surprise party, and because it was a surprise, I have NO before pics of anything, it was like planning a secret mission!!!! But it was a total success so keeping quiet served it's purpose!!!

First of all, it decided to SNOW...yes I know...didn't stop us...

His bday cake, I made those cigars, they are chocolate covered pretzel rods.
I found those napkin rings with the initial letters in Michaels.  

Each thank you bag had chocolate cigars in them. 
The watch box was another find at Michaels, we used it to put in memory cards, each guest had to write a memory of themselves and my husband, then my hubby had to read the card out loud and try to guess who wrote it...it was a lot of pressure on him, but really very funny :o))

real cigars for the men 

my hubby loved this because he likes to have his cigar once in a while

I made this canvas of him, initial are his name, and on the pic it says, Aged to Perfection, I had another canvas for everyone to write a special bday wish for him

The table in its entirety 

my surprised hubby

and here he is with his cigar and his drink!!!

And here we all are :o)

Hope you had a great birthday my love, we love you and appreciate you more than words can say!

a birthday party for a special girl

This past Saturday, we had a special (early) gathering for my soon-to-be 7 year old baby girl.  My girls are growing up so fast. It's fun, it's scary and it's sad all at the same time.

So here are some fun photos of my big girl and her early bday party.

Here is the table 

Hello Kitty theme

something blue for the boys

waiting for her guest to arrive

her new obsession: Hello Kitty

I couldn't remove alllll my xmas decor!

opening her gifts that she waited so patiently for

Happy Birthday to you - my baby girl -

hope all your dreams come true - we love you

Strawberry Shortcake made by me, like really - from scratch. I made it all myself. I"m pretty darn proud. Really, first time. :o)

Next month, I have a special surprise bday for my hubby. Like, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the party is for HIM!!!!!!

Baby Shower Part 2 - The Party!!!

So here we are, day of party, time to make this:

 and this...(all these goodies)
 we're getting there...
 Into this...check out the baby dresses (courtesy of Eighteen25, saw it on their DIY) Do you like the added touches of pink and white on the flower balls? Oh how I love thee..

 Here is the table...isn't it lovely?  We draped some of the fabric and put some poofs hanging overhead and to hold the fabric in place, the banner behind and we got a canvas so people can leave a message for the baby...
 close up of the cake
 We got a cute little piggy

Hope you enjoyed the pics of the party, I didn't have many pictures, these were all on my phone. And I've been having trouble uploading all the other pics my sister took.  But at least you get to see the party, the final result.
