Dessert Table

We are so excited to say that Ellie's Birthday celebration went off without a hitch! Yeah... My baby girl is sixteen! This was her Dessert table. Full of special treats- s'more bars, custom made cookies and cupcakes. The double chocolate cake on top of the cupcake stand was from a shop called Papa Hayden's, one of our local favorites! Ellie also had a chocolate fondue foundation with all sorts of fun dippin's- this was one of the highlights of the party for sure! Tomorrow on the Blog... More decorations from the party! Happy Monday everyone. 

Decorating for Sweet Sixteen

This morning we packed up the cars and drove all of our decorations to The Oregon Glof Club where Ellie's Birthday Party will be held tonight! After five hours of decorating with six people helping... We finally finished- I added the before picture so you compare later when I post decorations! I can't even wait to show you... I crafted this adorable hashtag sign for the kids photo booth area. Ellie and her best friend Taylor saw it for the first time this morning and this was their first photo in it! Work it Girls! Super excited to have the decorating behind us and now shower, get ready and PARTTY! Party photos to follow next week! Have a great weekend. 

Preparation for Party

Today I went out to The Oregon Golf Club to finalize details for Ellie's Sweet 16 party. I am so excited for her... The weather was beautiful and maintance crew was mowing the grass and getting everything ready for Ellie's BIG Day! The party room is being prepped and decorations will be put together tomorrow. The Club will be catering all the food... But I'm crafting just a bit from home today as well! Look at these adorable Rice Krispy treats dipped in Pink chocolate as well as the dipped Marshmellows- I hand-crafted the black and white sticks that will go into each Marshmellow. Yeah me!! The day is almost here... I can't believe she is 16!! 

Breast Cancer Awareness

I love Pink!! I have ALL these items in my kitchen... October is Breast Cancer Awarness month. Pink is everywhere, this reminds us to get checked, get educated. No~time to waste! The "Cook for the Cure" is the collaboration program between Kitchenaid and Susan G. Koman Breast Cancer Foundation where Kitchenaid will donate a 10% of every purchase of PINK Kitchenaid applicances. This program has raised Millions over the last few years which helps with research, education, screening and treatment programs. It's so nice to know that our purchases contributes to such a great causes. I love Pink!! 

Sack Lunches

Everyday I make lunches for my sweet kids... I am always looking for new ideas for exciting lunches but I don't make anything too fancy. The top Picture is Ellie's Lunch~ Nutella on a rice cake is one of her favorites, she isn't much of a sandwich girl. She loves Annie's brand fruit snacks as well as Bananas. The bottom Picture is Evan's Lunch~ Mini bagel with Oven roasted Turkey and lettuce, Goldfish, Apple, as well as a Nutri-Gran bar if he stays after for Basketball practice. They don't eat the same things and more. When they were younger I packed the exact same lunches. Now days, it's a whole different story... If you have any great lunch ideas... please share. Comment below! Happy Tuesday
