Welcome to the Garden!

I’ve wanted to do a garden party for years now but can’t get anyone on board with it! Reece came to my rescue and liked the idea so we’ve been storing 10 fairy garden pots in my craft room for months and we finally got them out!  Nine of Reece’s cute friends, and our family joined us on a beautiful day to celebrate turning 7.  Someone was looking out for us because it’s literally been raining everyday for weeks and on this day, it was sunny!  Hallelujah!

I made these invitations and hand-delivered all of them since mailing them was clearly not going to be an option!!5.7.17 Reece's 7th Bday Garden Party! (225)5.7.17 Reece's 7th Bday Garden Party! (227)Morgan gave up much of her snap-chatting and netflix time to graciously help me prepare, along with my mom who continually puts up with my hair-brained ideas and helps me facilitate the vision.  She always does it with a smile but I know she secretly wants to strangle me or slip me a sleeping pill.

These cake pops were super labor-intensive.  I think my back still hurts from standing in my kitchen making these!  Don’t look for these in a future party.  Who’s dumb idea was that!?5.7.17 Reece's 7th Bday Garden Party! (188).JPG

Morgan and Reece helped me hand stamp these food tags ONE letter at a time!!  This might be considered a breach of child labor laws…

Morgan and her bestie, Emma, helped these sweet girls get their Fairy Gardens put together complete with cute little Trolls and WOW, don’t they look great!!?

Reece paid Emma $5 out of her piggy bank for helping!

They sprinkled ‘Fairy Dust’ (glitter) on their gardens which proved to be their favorite part.  The more glitter the better!  I could’ve bought out the entire glitter aisle at the craft store and it still wouldn’t have been enough!

Aunt Jenn cut 40 sandwiches in the shape of flowers for me – she’s another one that probably wants to strangle me or slip me a sleeping pill!  Plus she made these little cookie flower pots – darling!

And in the midst of this party and cute little fairy garden girls, I decided to redecorate and refurnish our family room.  What on earth was I thinking!?!  That will be a separate post at some point.

She got so many fun gifts from friends and family.  Thank you for being so kind and generous!!  What fun it is to turn 7!!
