On Sunday we had Madelyn's birthday party at our house. It was so fun to have so many friends there this year! For so long we only had the kids' cousins at our parties, but now we have all kinds of kiddos and there are many more on the way! This might have been the last party at our house...it got a little bit crowded, but it was still fun!
I had a lot of fun planning Madelyn's party. One day when I was baking Christmas cookies, I realized that I had to focus on her sweet tooth with this party. I started to focus on Cookie Monster, but after I realized that she's really not that into Sesame Street, I decided to go with a cookies and milk theme! I am really happy with how everything turned out. Inspiration for the party came mostly from things I found on
Pinterest, of course.
I set up a fun little dessert table, since that's all the rage these days...We had
Monster Cookies (with pink M&Ms),
Chocolate Chip Cookies,
Frosted Sugar Cookies (which I do not recommend using whole wheat flour for...oops!),
Oreo Cupcakes, old fashioned wafer cookies and strawberry, chocolate and white milk. I saved some Frappucino bottles and purchased some
pink heart paper straws for the milk. We also had some bags for people to take cookies home as their party favors. I used my Silhouette cutter to make the banner and cookie labels.
I also had some fruit, cheese and crackers, chips and salsa, mini ham and cheese sandwiches, raspberry chipotle black bean dip and cocktail sausages, but I didn't manage to get a pictures of those...

Thank you to everyone that was able to come and help us celebrate our little girl's birthday! We are so blessed to have such great friends and family!
Here are the rest of the photos from the party.
