Cinco De Mayo Party

A friend, Alex, hosted a kid-friendly Cinco De Mayo party! I couldn't believe how many kids and mommy's were there! If I had to guess, it was 25 kids and 18 mommy's! She really does a great job hosting parties at her home and seems to keep her cool even with all these people and kiddos running around her house.

I really enjoyed seeing everyone and holding all the new wave of babies! Thank you Alex for allowing all of use in your home and hosting such a yummy party! All the food was to die for!

Daddy got Blakely this outfit from Guam and I thought this Cinco De Mayo Party was the perfect time to wear it! Don't you think?

Just a handful of the kiddos!

Happy Kids!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Tea Party Hats DIY

I got this idea from Family Fun and just changed up a few things to make them a little more eaiser for younger kids.

You need:
Wrapping Paper 30x30 for each hat(I found double sided wrapping paper at Hallmark)
Colored Tape(duck tape makes all sorts of colors)
Hot Glue Gun
Fuax Flowers

That simple!


Start by putting a sheet of wrapping paper around the childs head and put the duck tape around the largest part of their head.



Once the tape is securied around their heads, cut the wrapping paper in a circle leaving 5 inches around the rim of the hat.




Turn up the front of the hat(showing the other side of the paper) add a spot of glue to keep it back, next glue the flowers(that each little girl got to choose) to the front of the rim.

And Voila! You have the perfect Tea Party Hats! Blakely is not a fan of hats, so she did not get to enjoy this craft! Silly girl.

Tea Party Decor

Well the party came together, better than I imaged. I didn't get to do everything I had planned too, but what can I say for a last minute change in plans.

Table setting, each guest was presented with a little clutch filled with white gloves, pearl necklaces, butterfly hair clips, and lip gloss.

Each Tea Cup was adorned with silver spoons that had a miniature tea pot on the top. And ofcourse, had to have some pastel treats!

Food: Fruit Tarts and Turkey and Cheese sandwiches.

Food: Cheesy Biscuits and Friendship Muffins

More photos of the party to come. We made Tea Hats as a party craft!

Now for the 509th Wing Christmas Party. It had a price for 100 bucks for the winner.
So I whipped up the ugliest sweater for my man, which looked like a girl sweater.

I am pretty sure that 98% of Christmas sweaters that men wear ARE girl sweaters though.

Judging time....

{Ben would have won, but they gave the price to the enlisted guys}

Our men with their beautiful sweaters. Don't Judge!

Us girls.

This is the end of the night...can you tell?!?!

HAPPY HOLIDAY'S!!

Avery's 3rd Birthday Party

Remember how I mentioned Blakely was totally in love with Barbie and the Three Musketeer's, well SO DOES her Best Friend, Avery!

So her Mommy planned a Three Musketeer's themed Birthday Party! The invitation was a Pink Mask that she made(forgot to take a picture of it).

I used my sewing machine again and attempted to make a Barbie Cape for all the girls with the help of Avery's Mommy, Colleen.

This is the Mask Cake, it matched the invitation perfectly! (*I did not make this cake.)

Flight Suit Party

We had a Flight Suit Party!

What it is, is where you take one of your husband flight suits and make it into a Girly Outfit! I bought a sewing machine so I could make my own! {On a side note, I have never sewed a day in my life and was quit scared of the thing when I took it out of the box!}

There were so many different flight suit and you got to see how creative people were! I thought every one's turned out beautifully.


This was mine! (My friends Andrea, (me), and Dani)



Check out all the Different Flight suits!



This one was one of my favorite made by my friend Chauna!
