Milk & Cookies party.

I feel like I could nap for days... party season is officially over at casa Muni... 3 parties, in 3 weekends, for 3 very excited kids... it was crazy and fun all at the same time!

In case you missed out, Sofia kicked it off with her "sew seven" party.

Thomas' monster party is split into part 1 and part 2.

And now... milk & cookies!

We decided to keep things very simple for Maia.  She doesn't really have friends of her own yet, so we invited family to come and celebrate.  I created a *gasp* digital invite:

Staging Maia for a picture was, obviously, the easiest thing in the world.  Just give a kid a cookie...

I dug up some leftover banners from her 1st birthday party last year (it pays to keep party decor...)  The ruffled crepe paper banner and the pom poms worked perfectly.  I created a simple banner using lawn fawn images and other stamps.  Here's a close-up:

Once I settled on a design for the banner, it was easy to continue creating more paper-goodness for the rest of the party.  For starters, everyone got a "cookie report card" - a kraft envelope...

 with all of the recipes inside... and a spot at the bottom to rate each cookie.  And speaking of cookies...

There were very yummy varieties: like peanut butter and jam thumbprints,

 classic chocolate chip...

 sugar cookies with white chocolate icing...

 nutella & marshmallow-filled oatmeal whoopie pies... (ignore the melting marshmallow on the side... I do paper-pretty more than food pretty!)

and... there were some cranberry/white chocolate chip oatmeal cookies that I was obviously too busy scarfing down to photograph.

You know how some people make health resolutions on January 1st?  Not me!  I hold out until after party season.  Time to detox all this sugar :)

ETA:  I had more than a few requests for the recipes!  They've all been abbreviated to fit into the small-ish recipe cards.... HERE YOU GO!

Thanks for looking!
