I thought it might be fun to revisit some of my kiddo's past parties & such.
This was McQuiston's 9th birthday.
Camp Mac: Bowes' Birthday Bash 2007
We held Mac's party at a local park & rented out one of the shelter houses.
We kept it simple with the food just grilling burgers & dogs.
And, then had all of Mac's favorite foods on the side.
How cute is my Mackey?
What's camp without a campfire?
This cake was SOOOO easy!
I took 3 pound cakes & iced them. Used fruit by the foot for the flames. Brownies mushed up to look like charcoal briquettes & sprinkled with powdered sugar so they looked ashy. And, marshmallows on skewers.
Gummy bears were a fave!
My sweet Reilly. Such a doll baby. Miss those days!
When you just recently became a single mama, and money is tight...you use trash bags for gunny sacks. (smile) They didn't know the difference.
I was using mason jars (actually Classico spaghetti jars) back in 2007 before it became cool. I filled these with dried pinto beans & put tea lights in them & tied them with ribbon.
Cutting the cake!
Silly sweaty boys.
This is a favorite of my kiddos & ALL their friends!
I skewer marshmallows & dip them in chocolate almond bark, I add sprinkles most times, but Mac didn't want sprinkles. Not manly enough, I guess.
And, these lined the shelter house with all the families last names that attended.
We invited Mac's entire baseball team & all their families....including siblings...as well as, our families. Such fun!
Hope you enjoyed this little Flash Back Friday!
Hard to believe I'll be planning a graduation party for this kid next year.
It goes way too fast.
And, after seeing these pics....it's time to pull out the Nikon again. There is a difference.
