Ella's Party: The Decorations/Food

Please bear with these next few posts. I worked hard on Ella's party and my sister wasn't there so I'd like to share the details. Also, it's a good keepsake for the blog book. The party was held at Randall Oaks Farm & Zoo on Saturday, May 22nd at 2:30 pm. I searched far and wide for a reasonably priced farm cake and couldn't find one so I settled on horses. The farm cookies were my piece de resistance. They took like 4 days to make and were so tedious but I think they turned out pretty good...

For the dessert table and Ella's cake table I made spotted cow table cloths.

You can't see it but inside the frame there is a photo of Ella taken every month from 3 months on in the same chair with the same doll.

There were supposed to be balloons on the other table next to the fireplace but my mom moved them to alert people as to where the party was.

This table had Ella's high chair, some snacks and a guest book. If you didn't sign the guest book...I know who you are!

We had two full tables for appetizers and boy did those fill up fast. Lots of my family brought appetizers and it was very appreciated.

This was one of the kid's tables with favors, bubbles, hats and chalk. The little ones got board books or farm puzzles and the bigger kids got horses on sticks.

Here is the craft table with play dough and farm cut-outs. Busy kids are happy kids!

For dinner we had pizza. My mom and dad made their famous fruit basket and Jeanie made a hearty salad.

I wish I would have arranged this cuter...

Here is a partial shot of the room. I never got a wide shot of the room. Oh well. I could not have done all this decorating without the help of my mom and Jeanie. They arrived early to help me. Thanks so much!!! And Buzz was a workhorse bringing all of this junk to the facility. We borrowed a mini-van and it was filled to the gills.
