I don't know if you can tell yet, but I love, love, love throwing children's birthday parties. If I could make money doing something with parties, I would do it! It is so fun to me. Zach's party was no different, even if I spent very little. My idea for the party was based on potterybarn party ware that I had bought years ago at DownEast for nothing! I thought I will use them now--he does love dogs and cars--so perfect. And of course you can't have a party without goody bags and those were simple too! All of Zach's favorites--fruit snacks, bubbles, and a pencil with cars on it!
It was a simple party because I just had family come for dinner. We had the best "smoked" pulled pork. Recipe goes as follows: 1 pkg pork ribs from Costco, a sprinkle of kosher salt and a sprinkle of liquid smoke. I start cooking it in a crock pot on low the night before! YUM--tastes just like it came from a bbq resturant. Then everyone pitched in on the rest of the meal--great way to go when feeding a crowd!
I am so lucky that my SIL is into photography so she took all of these great photos! (oh yea can't forget the felt crown--also done by same SIL--thank you thank you) It was a fun low key party! We sure missed all of our family that don't live close, but thanks to everyone that lives here for coming!
