the ol' cliche is true - feels like yesterday that this little ray of sunshine was born, but here she is turning FIVE! oh, this girl. she is such a sweet one i tell ya. her only requests for her special day was 'strawberries and cream for breakfast, and a sprinkles party'. here at birthday central we aim to please - so breakfast in bed was served, and a simple birthday party with a few friends...and a LOT of sprinkles was held in our backyard...
i got some great party food ideas from pinterest, my fave being the little toadstools (above) made from cherry tomatoes and mozarella cheese! and i made the most of that big jar of sprinkles i bought - dipped the rim of the cups into agave and then into the sprinkles - lots of sugary fun! also, this 'hedgehog' watermelon, which one kid asked me if it was a groundhog. i have no idea what an actual groundhog looks like, but really?!! i think i went a bit wrong on the nose (snout?!) but hedgy didn't seem to mind...
it was a lot of fun, and lovely to finally have the space to host a party at home! five is such a fun age to be don't you think? i love having this five year old girl in our family!
