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!
