The cake…oh my at turtle cake. How stinkin’ cute is that cake?!! That little turtle just puts a smile on my face. The table setting was bright and fun and I really like the netting that she hung above with all the little sea turtles on it.

We celebrated Landry’s first birthday today complete with a turtle-themed pool party at my uncle’s pool and pool house. The weather was perfect and although Landry skipped his morning nap, great fun was had by all. I think the kids had a nice time swimming and playing in the water table and on the inflatable water slide. The only notable mishap was that we forgot to unload the ice cream from the car and didn’t realize it until it was time to do cake. Oops! I had planned on making Landry a turtle cake with help from my friend Amanda, but with the funeral and everything else I threw in the towel and asked Amanda to take care of it for me. Once again I was amazed by her talent. Absolutely precious cakes as you can see! It’s late, but I wanted to share a few pics from today. I’ll try to post some more later.

I love the whimsical feel of this party. The butterflies on the cupcakes are just way too fabulous! I know from experience that those took some work and Meg did a wonderful job on them. The take away goodie boxes are a fun idea with the pinwheels.

For Little Miss’s 2nd birthday we had a flower and butterfly party. I had so much fun making all kinds of girly things!

THe kids got to make butterflies out of felt and pipe cleaners.

We also had garden sticker sheet to make your own Garden.

We decorated the room with “kitty grass” and flowers. We also had garlend of flowers hanging from the door. and paper flowers garland with little missies name strung from the windows

I made butterflies out of colored chocolate. I got the idea from the cupcake book I got for my Birthday. It took most of friday morning but it was fun.

For goodie boxes I painted grass and butterflies on one side of the boxes and then added paper flowers. I borrowed a punch from a friend and made flowers with the kids names inside to seal the tops of the boxes closed.


The girls got flower and butterfly stickers, make your own flower bracelet kit, and three hair “pretties” I made.
The boys got bug stickers, Backyard friends(plastic bugs) and some silly putty. By the way I apologies now for the silly putty if it gets in your carpet try rubbing alcohol it worked for us :)
The adults even got a treat to take home, Chocolate covered pretzels.
