Let's Go Camping!

Mia had a birthday party this weekend, and Nel thought it would be nice to have a camping theme.
 
 
Jess made some logs and fire out of felt, and it was so creative.  It sat right next to the tent so the kids would think they had a fire in their campground. 
 
 
Since it was a camping theme, Nel bought some casual red and white checkered plates and cheerful sunflowers for the table.
 
 
 
Grandma made goodie bags for the little ones.
And since I didn't have wrapping paper for her gift, I used pages from my fairy coloring book, and hot glued it together.  ; )

 
Renecke barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs, which were Yummy, and there were many other Summer side dishes.



 
Jess' mac and cheese is the best I've ever tasted.  She uses Gouda or Monterey Jack cheese and adds bits of bacon.
 
 
I filled all the jars with sweets for the kids to make
S'mores later on.

They had a blast playing in the tent!

Nel did a wonderful job making her daughter's second birthday a special one.

Now Sheri that Is my kind of birthday party. What fun and creative ideas. The camping theme was such a perfect idea. Looks like the birthday girl enjoyed every moment. Hugs!

That's such a fun idea for this summer. The tent is so neat and I love all the food and snacks. I would probably eat so much of the mac and cheese, I would sleep through all the fun and games though. Happy Birthday to this sweet girl!

Happy belated birthday, Mia! This was a charming birthday party! So many cute creative ideas from everyone. That mac and cheese looks amazing and I love the idea of making it in a shallow container because of course the best part is the crisp top so why not have as large an area possible of that!

Oh, this is fun! More glampling than camping.
