What a Birthday Bash!

Warning: This has lots of pics, wait for download :-)

Whew! What a party! What a day! Tom and I were up really late Friday night getting things prepped as much as we could stand and slept in a little bit on Saturday and then finished the food and decorations. Thank GAWD for his Aunt and Uncle who showed up just as I was pannicking that I'd never get it all done and pitched in. Seriously, they rocked! It was so nice of them and I really did need the help. What would we do without family and friends (a few friends even helped clean up afterwards). I swear, I'm so lucky to have them all!

We always make a big deal out of birthdays for the kids. Tom and I love it too and Jamie chose a Halloween theme, which is right up our alley!

First: The rest of the specialty foods (click title for recipe):

(Thanks to Jennifer - Tom's mom - who made these!) They looked AWESOME!
(Thanks to Jennifer and Donny who pulled these through the straws right before the party, I would have had to chuck them and everyone thought they REALLY were worms!)

Witch Hats

The Cake - after an aborted attempt using a bundt pan and Tom having to start all over, I found a 3D Wilton pan... I'm so proud of how this turned out! Jamie thought it was AWESOME (have I mentioned that that is Jamie's favorite word nowadays?)


Yes, this is me in my costume. Stop laughing.

The Princesses have taken over the fort!
And lookit who won....

Cassie in her princess glory (Jennifer made their costumes this year again)

Tom is an evil sorcerer.... or something that I don't remember

Ahoy, Psycho SAHM

Total Mayhem doesn't even begin to describe this party... there were probably 60 people there, at least. In my backyard. At once. It was so much fun though! Dragon Jamie had a BLAST!

This was a game we tried, too many kids having too much fun, hopped up on sugar... we gave up and let then run whild.

Get away from the little cuties, evil sorcerer!

Who needs tables? Worm Dogs were the meal of the night....

Other Misc Pics....
