{HOLIDAY] Friendsgiving

My girlfriends who live in a different state had their 4th Friendsgiving this month. I was a part of the 1st Friendsgiving and it's a tradition I miss every November. A couple of details I liked this year was the Thanksgiving sign and the handmade paper flowers above each plate. Pretty little things.

{HOLIDAY} Turkey Surprise Balls

A friend of mine wanted to learn how to make surprise balls and decided to make 3 for her grandkids for Thanksgiving. We turned the surprise balls into turkeys. How cool are those tiny pilgrim hats? (found them at Party City)

It's a terrible iphone picture, but you get the idea...

{BIRTHDAY} Pony Party - Quinn's 4th Birthday

My sister Annie did it again. Another successful birthday party. Her youngest, Quinn, turned four and they decided to have a pony party. Annie rented a pony to come to the house to give rides to the kids. When not on a pony ride they had a craft table, snacks, and some party games. For dessert: cookies and ice cream! 

Every guest got a bandana

Helpful older siblings that even dress the part! Go cowboy Gavin!

Snacks that even the pony would like

{HOLIDAY} Ghastly Gatsby's Halloween Haunt

My roommate Cami and I threw a Halloween dinner party for the second year in a row. This year we went with a 1920s Gatsby theme. We invited 16 people over (even number guys and girls). We started with appetizers, a photo booth in the front patio, and a game. Next we had everyone come inside for dinner. We played a variety of games throughout the night; three rounds of Mafia, the name game and ended with paper bag limbo. Our friend Jann drew the art deco place mats and spray painted the photo booth back drop. It helped to have friends contribute some food. We made assignments of appetizers, drinks, and a side dish. The party was a roaring success! We loved throwing it!  

Happy Halloween!

thanks for the pics dave!
