I know Joelle was only turning one and she won’t remember any of this, but I have this problem. I cannot throw a party without going completely bonkers. I like to think of it as a hobby but it is probably more like a disorder of some type. It is so fun though!!! AHHHH!
OK… Under control again…So… We had a cupcake party. Since our house is so small, in order to fit all the people we invited, we had to really figure out how we were going to utilize our whole lot. We used the house front, back, and side yards, as well as our garage. I also realized I needed a cheap but classy way to display all six varieties of our cupcakes. Lindy and I went to the thrift store and made some awesome cupcake holders out of old plates, candlesticks, and silicone glue. Here are some of the setting up scenes from the party…

Eat one now. Box one up for later.
