Curious George Triple Birthday Party

September 19, 2016 by Aliesha

We had a wonderful time this year celebrating three birthdays at one party! Vera (6), Jude (3), and Theodore (1) decided on a Curious George theme, and we had fun putting that together.

They may not always want to share a party, but this year they were thrilled! (They each had their own special day on their actual birthday, as well.)

The place settings are supposed to look like The Man in the Yellow Hat’s hat!

We cooked up some pretty yummy food for the party! Grilled chicken kabobs, roasted veggies, creamy rosemary polenta, goat cheese biscuits, salad, and a white layer cake with apricot filling!

So many special people came to celebrate with us!!

It was a special day celebrating three very special little ones!

Cordelia’s Donut Party

March 14, 2016 by Aliesha

We celebrated Cordelia turning four with a family party the weekend before her birthday.

I made a donut cake for her! (Pound cake + bundt pan + chocolate ganache + sprinkles)

On her actual birthday, we invited a few of her little friends over for a milk and donuts party!

We hope Cordelia felt celebrated and loved! We sure are thankful she’s our girl!!

Today I’m sharing all the details about a super fun baby shower our small group threw for our friend Ellen! She doesn’t know if she’s having a boy or a girl, so we went with the theme: “What will baby bee? Sweet as honey!” (This theme could also be spun as “baby to bee” or “mama to bee.”)

I got the napkins at a party store, but I tracked them down here for you too.

My friend Stuart has a cookie business and she made these beautiful “B” cookies! The sign next to them read, “B is for Baby and Bicknell and Baby Bumble Bee.”

I made treat bars with Honeycomb cereal (made just like Rice Krispy Treats).

For the guest book, I had everyone place a pink or blue fingerprint on a bee to indicate their guess as to the gender of the baby! Lots of pink bees… I guess we’ll find out soon!

I made a banner with letters I printed out and adhered to scrapbook paper pennants.

The confetti was also from a party store, but I also spotted it here.

I made a gift record page so we could keep track of who gave her which gifts. At the bottom it says, “You are so loved, mama-to-bee!”

For favors, I tied several honey sticks together (found here) with baker’s twine and a little hexagon tag that read, “Honey and babies… what could be sweeter?”
