i will start with the cupcakes.
because they were just PHENOMENAL. i sent jocelyn at bakery bar a photo of hello, naomi's brilliant creation, and she duplicated them to perfection. PERFECTION, don't you think?
remember this cake? jocelyn, you're simply the best!
per usual, i went overboard and had so many ideas i was too busy during the party to capture any of the best moments. i really have to stop that. if it wasn't for susie, i wouldn't have a single picture to my name. susie, your photos are priceless. thank you from the bottom of my heart.
our theme was lego racer. all of the boy's buddies got to build their own cars to race on the totally tubular ramp (see above) best-dad-in-the-world build with his bare, very muscular, hands.
then they got to mark how far their cars flew off the ramp. not sure who won, but there were colored flags all over our lawn. it was great.
i admit to going a little flag crazy at this party.
the little ones had other things on their minds.
here's kev prepping the diet coke/mentos volcano, which was a huuuuge hit!
awesome.
also a huge hit. the chocolate fountain. very messy, but totally worth it.
yum.
here's my sister with the bruschetta, and also, a glimpse of the hundreds of flags it took me an unspeakably long time to hang all over the house. i won't be doing that again.
goodie bags. there is a beautiful sign hanging above these bags that my sister-in-law handmade and mailed to us for the occasion. there is, sadly, no existing photograph of it, shame.on.me. one of these days i am going to reassemble it just to show you. i must!
my firstborn. i can hardly believe you are 6 years old already. happy birthday to you.
