This year I decided to do a dreamcatcher / feather theme for London's birthday party. I came up with the invitation and color scheme, and then started planning around it. In true "Heather" form, I made sure the important things were taken care of first: invitations, dessert & decorations. Luckily I know a great baker who makes me dreams come to life! ;)
I made a few decorations with sticks, pinecones, feathers and yarn. I found an idea for dipped pinecones on Pinterest, so I had Brandon bring home some paint from work. It was pretty easy, and I think it came out really great!
We kept the party small this time to minimize stress, and Brandon and I both commented afterwards that it was the most enjoyable party we've thrown. The weather was great, so we set up a pool in the front yard for the kids. Brandon grilled burgers (complete with roasted chiles, bacon and muenster cheese), I made my Israeli couscous, and the grandmas pitched in with potato salad and fruit. My sister, of course, handled the cake, feather cookies and oreo balls.
All in all, it was a great party. The kids (and grown-ups) had fun, and the birthday girl was happy. Can't ask for much more than that!
