Man have these past weeks ever been busy! Not only has work been busy but life at home. Then there is Christmas and all that comes with the holidays and you could say at this very moment I am pooped.
I have just finished cleaning my house after an epic costumed birthday party centered on Alice in Wonderland. The purpose, to celebrate my husband's 35th year of birth. After showering me with 35 surprises for my 35th this past summer, I thought long and hard what I could do to try and make it up to him. I settled on a costume party with a scavenger hunt and a massive, outrageous 8 layer themed cake.
Spent the last 6 weeks cutting out hearts, stickering this and that, ordering stuff online, trying to figure out if I could replicate a beautiful fondant cake I found online and you know enough craft projects to make 35 things for a scavenger hunt. Suffice to say I was pretty busy. And like all major events in my life we get to party day and it rains.
Well, instead of stressing about it, I decided to embrace it so at the end of the day I got pretty cozy with 40 guests in my little 1200 square foot house. I am of the opinion you have to look on the bright side of things and so I just had to laugh off the rain and embrace it as good luck. Well, I guess you could say it was good luck as the party was a success. Birthday boy had a good time with his friends, my house was trashed, and I have a garbage can full of beer bottles. hehe It was a fun evening. Oh and we got those beans back. Aargh....
Here are some pictures from the evening:
