It's a Spooky Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Donny!

Yes six years old already. When I asked him what theme he wanted for his birthday this year he told me "Halloween of course". Okay so it is August but the end of August and close enough for Halloween where I can just leave the decorations up until then anyway. Why not. Hey it is a birthday do what you want on your Birthday. It only comes once a year so why not!

So about a month ahead of time we started preparing and decorating the inside of the house with Halloween décor. Donny also decided he wanted to be a Pumpkin for Halloween and his Birthday. Perfect I just happen to have that pattern already. A little alterations to make the pattern bigger and we are good.

I wanted to make it fun for Donny so I decided to make the food Halloweeny too. I did some Mummy Dogs, Apple Teeth, Veggie Skeleton, Olive Snakes, and of course some fall cheese cut outs. Now you know I hand carved each one......NOT. Good thing for cutters.

Oh and I had to add some Dry ice to make it all come together. I am pretty proud of myself actually.

 The kids got here all in their costumes, Pirate, Cowboy, Cat girl, and my Pumpkin. We even had Donny's favorite cake "Coffee Cake" from Pure Bliss here in Oregon City. (Great Pastries and desserts). They even put a "friendly skeleton" on the cake just as I requested.


 
We did get a Pinata too. I ordered a Pumpkin one but it didn't get here quite in time so a star will do. :)
Everyone had fun and we had one HAPPY  BIRTHDAY BOY!!
Love you Donny!
