40th Fiesta!

A few weeks ago, we had a SURPRISE 40th Fiesta for Eric's Aunt. I think we really surprised her and everyone seemed to have a good time. Some of these ideas would be great for Cinco De Mayo. In fact, I plan to use them again:)

We had the party in her back yard so we only had about 30 minutes to set up!

The tassle streamers were really easy to make! I followed this tutorial...
sort of. 

The centerpieces are cans from the grocery store filled with paper flowers. Since the flowers are so light, I had to hot glue them in!

Can we talk about this cake topper for a little bit? LOVE.Love.love. 
Super easy, too (I just used the leftovers from the cupcake toppers and paper flowers). I will definitely be making these toppers again...can you imagine the possibilities? 

And then there are the festive cupcake toppers. I think these will be making a debut on Cinco De Mayo. These are super easy to make as well. I got inspiration from this tutorial .

Why is it so hard to get a picture of multiple kids looking at a camera?

Overall, I think it was a hit! Here's to 40 more great years, Jana!

Frank

Happy belated birthday to the cutest, nicest, craziest, 

random fact knowing 11 year old I know!

A few weeks ago, Frank that I needed to write a post about him.

I think he was right:)

It's hard to believe that he is already 11!

Where did baby Frank go? I remember when my mom was naming him, I hated the name Frank so much that I started a petition. I figured that I got enough people to sign it, my mom would change her mind. 

I WAS WRONG.

I don't think there could be a more perfect name for Frank.

At the age of eleven, Frank...

-can drive a car (better than most adults)

-back a trailer

-drive a boat

- loves to mow grass

-plays baseball

-loves to ask questions

-can operate almost any machinery

-likes to help dig graves at the cemetery (post on that later)

-is a great babysitter

-knows a lot about the most random things

Happy Birthday Frank!

If you're in Florence and need help with (almost) anything, 

call Frank- I'm sure he'll be able to help:)

Florence, SC Party Design: Under the Sea 1st Birthday

Sweet, sweet Marshall....I can't believe that you are 

ONE!

It's been so fun watching you grow!

I will miss you (and your mama) when I go!

You may remember Marshall's invitations from this post. 

My computer crashed last week so that means no Photoshop for me:( 

Here are some not so pretty pictures from Marshall's party this weekend!

Perfect way to end the party...taking a few steps!

Under The Sea 1st Birthday
