The Birthday Boy in his cookie monster shirt
Sign for front door- imagine it hung on door with ribbon (it was cute!)
The party room- our dining room
Cookie Bar
Drinks- had milk & tea in the pitchers and iced water with fruit in the beverage dispenser
Sippy cups for the kids & candy
Cupcake table (was also in dining room)
Cupcakes- I was thinking about doing all cookie monster cupcakes like the top one, but decided against it with the blue icing.
Kid table (in kitchen)
Favor table (balloons were coming out of the vase that has cookies in it). I had this in the entry hall.
Favors (chocolate chip cookies)
We had the party on Saturday 3/13, although he shares his birthday with Shane on Sunday, 3/14! The party started at 3:30, and after everyone arrived we opened gifts. Well, I opened gifts and Austin watched some of the time. He was so distracted by everyone & all of the presents! After gifts, we sang "Happy Birthday" to him (which almost made him cry- he hates all of the attention of everyone staring at him.) So after sticking his fingers in the icing of his cupcake, he decided he'd rather have a cookie..... or two.

Not so sure about singing "Happy Birthday"...
